Bug Description

Scratch should open the files currently open in it for changes.
Without that all I've just changed in the file with sed or whatever it was simply disappears on autosave, which is not good. Also creates an illusion that your sed (or BASH, or Perl) script didn't work and the file remained unchanged.

Test case:
$ echo "Okay, this is initial version of my file." > testfile
$ scratch testfile &
$ echo "Now I've overwritten the file with something else." > testfile
Expected behavior:
Scratch now shows "Now I've overwritten the file with something else."
What happens instead:
Scratch still shows "Okay, this is initial version of my file."
