Hi,
I've just played with this bundle. It is quite straightforward. Then I had a tiny idea to manage these scratches.
On one hand I shut down my computer very seldom thus it could happen that I have many scratches and on the other hand while coding with different languages it would be nice to filter and search for scratches.
My approach is to display all these scratches rss-feed-like. I 'borrowed' Apple's JavaScript library to visualize rss feed in Safari and I modified it only a bit. By doing so one has a rather simple GUI to manage scratches.
To illustrate I took a screencast http://www.bibiko.de/RSS_Scratches.mov (5MB)
one can -filter scratches according to all file extension of scratches -sort them by Grammar, Content, Date -searching -change the display length of scratches -buttons for editing, copy a scratch, copy&paste a scratch, erase a scratch
If this is interesting I can send Alex the source code. It's written in Ruby and make usage of the rss js lib and runs on Tiger and Leopard.
by all means, send it over. if you have access to svn, you can just add the command to Scratch.tmbundle in Review.
