The Standard Additions dictionary says, about the 'adding folder

adding folder items to: Called after new items have been added to a

But the handler runs when I save a new file into the folder,
without having the window open. It also works if I drag a file into
the folder without opening a window. So was this requirement about
having the window open true for an earlier version?
Wow, I'm amazed no one caught that before this! That was true back
in Mac OS 8/9, but isn't in Mac OS X.
I never understood why it was true in 8/9. Why was a file system
object dependent upon a gui object, when it's a scripting interface?
Was it due to some bad Finder programming?
And if the X Finder is so much smarter about adding items, then why
do X Finder window items only update when you click on them?
