If you modify a file in a watched directory, it is reported as a "create" event. I used a textedit file and changed some text, and saw that this was reported as a "create" event.

I'll look into this in the weekend. But I just have to note that each program behaves differently when saving files. I'll check again for textedit, but I think it was one of those programs that does some weird stuff when saving, like recreating files, copy over a tmp file and whatnot .. you can also check the same file with a different program like vscode for example.
