What i am asking is no closer to the os than most anything xtalk does... Its just that it apparently hasnt be asked of xtalk before.
It's MUCH lower-level than most of what Rev does - what makes you think it isn't? The fact that the OS-level tool for this has to be run as Root is a pretty big clue. Read the caveat on http://www.kernelthread.com/software/fslogger/ for a bit more info.
The only application I can think of on a Mac that does anything even *similar* is AEMonitor which is only a developer tool and in any case is no longer under development.
I can't think of anything more useful than being able to use automate file system objects as they are created by the user (in any program). Am i really the only one who is wishing in this direction? Imagine something as simple as having every image file tht ends up on the desktop being emeditely moved to the user's image folder. Imagine the spotlight comments fork of that file being auto annotated with relavent ontological trees. Imagine alias files being auto generated and stored in appropriate project folder trees. And that is just the beginning. One could script super complex semantic pattern engines that could extract user interest vectors, auto track resources, and potentially "do some of our work for us". If apple and microsoft are to scared to build inteligence into their os's... The maybe we could.
Some of this could be done by setting up a series of hot folders and sending AppleScript messages to a Rev app. Not ideal, but just about doable, and much less of a security risk than setting it up from the Rev end.
