This is easy to do if you're writing the python product for the file
object.  You say "when you're saved, call this method?" for every
object - it's whatever edit method the object has!

ObjectManagers such as Folders call manage_afterAdd on the added
object after the object has been added.  If the objects don't have
this method already, a python script with this name in the folder
should get acquired and do the job.

This is only when a new object is added, however.
