I simply use it to run a partial recovery of a non-browsable save set. It saves 
an additional scan process. And it works on save set which will never enter the 
'browsable' state.
Of course it only helps if you have a clue about the absolute directory name.

If you are used to something you will use it forever. So far i never used the 
-I option.
