Bug? Rev app creates invisible files?

[Sivakatirswami]

I can verify this with a lot more frequency (finder bug): in fact the 
immediate "non-appearance" of files in the finder  has become so common 
place in my work flows that I no longer regard it as a problem... I 
think of it more  like it's a little kid who is hiding behind the bushes 
for a bit, but will come out when he gets tired of not getting 
attention... photoshop batch processing, Indesign Creo/Kodak Postscript 
exports, Distiller hot folders driving PDF generation... processing AIFF 
to ACC in itunes...Version Cue etc. output is very often invisible until 
the finder "snaps out of it..." ...then all the kids show up... this 
happens locally and more "egregiously" over the network on mounted 
volumes--which is more understandable, but none the less disconcerting 
for some. Blink, "Gee! it didn't work... (I get a support call......) Oh 
Wait! never mind, its there now...sorry to bother you..."
