There are a few ways to get the file name.  You can drag the file  
proxy from textmate's title bar (that's the little file icon).  You  
can type `echo $TM_FILEPATH` and hit ⌃R on a line to get the filename  
as well.

I also added a command to the Scratch bundle (which I have attached)  
to list whatever scratch files are still in existence (newest first).

I think it's a good thing.  Scratch files go into a temporary folder  
that will get cleaned when you reboot.  What's not to like?
