Not at all! In fact OS 8 and 9 (not sure about X) has had folder-watching
scripts called "Folder Action Scripts" (mine's in /System
Folder/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts); the only thing you'd need to do is
add the ability to launch Rev with a stack (or even easier) to launch a Rev
standalone.

Of course, you could make a Rev standalone that was always running and *it*
could check a folder to see when a file is dropped into it and then just go
get it...

Your call on how you want to handle it,
