In IntelliJ IDEA 14, we can create scratch files from Tools > New Scratch File...
Are they stored in some temporary files? If the answer is yes, where are they?
Attempts:
1) I pressed right click > Copy Reference and I pasted it:
1d0b26a2/scratch.2:1
2) I opened .idea\workspace.xml and I have the following part for scratch files:
<file leaf-file-name="scratch.2" pinned="false" current-in-tab="true"> <entry file="scratchpad://1d0b26a2/scratch.2"> <provider selected="true" editor-type-id="text-editor"> <state vertical-scroll-proportion="0.0" vertical-offset="0" max-vertical-offset="636"> <caret line="0" column="0" selection-start-line="0" selection-start-column="0" selection-end-line="0" selection-end-column="20" /> <folding /> </state> </provider> </entry> </file> For a normal file the entry path starts with file:// instead of scratchpad://.

The scratch files are saved along with all preferences in a path specific to each version of your editor. In case of MacOS it's ~/Library/Preferences/PhpStorm2018. 2 . This means that when you update your IDE, it starts using the new path and it doesn't see your old scratches anymore.
You can select Scratch files to view from your local computer and from Google Drive directly. Supports SB, SB2, SB3 file formats. An SB2/3 file is a program created with Scratch, an application development platform created at the MIT.
Starting with 14.1, Scratch Files are stored under .IntellijIdea14/config/scratches.
They are displayed either in Scratches and Consoles or on the Scratches tab (depends on the version you are using).
