Scratch hangs up when reading from a named pipe instead of a file, even if I cat a text file in there.
Would be nice if Scratch could read the and display the text and treat that as unsaved file.
Gedit reads all the data from the pipe and then complains that it's not a regular file. Considering our target audience, I guess complaining that it's not a regular file and not reading the data is fine too.
This will probably rank #1 on "Weird Things To Do With Scratch" list, until somebody passes a block device.
Testcase:
mkfifo my_named_pipe
cat some-text-file.txt > my_named_pipe &
scratch-text-editor my_named_pipe
