Support of non-text editor in Scratches
Answered
It looks like that the embedded scratches plugin works improperly with file types requiring custom editor. I am author of the IDEA-MIND-MAP plugin (https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8045-idea-mind-map) and a customer reported me that he sees text editor instead of graphics editor during scratch file edit

if support of scratches needs any refactoring or adding of extra support, please provide any link to examples or documentation, I couldn't find anything about it

Hello Igor,
The problem with scratch files support is caused because the `accept` method in `MindMapDocumentEditorProvider` checks the VFS fileType - so it works for the real files:

When creating a scratch file, its type is `ScratchFileType` and doesn't directly reveal its real type. To get this information, you have to use ScratchFileService:
ScratchFileService.getInstance().getScratchesMapping().getMapping(virtualFile) instanceof MMLanguageKeep in mind that this service has been introduced in IntelliJ SDK 173.
