This thrraad prompted me to go look at how Sean Elfstrom got around this same porblem for his DuckTape suite. The reason it happens is that BBedit ships as a package; which appears to Frontier as folder. Packages contain a small file called PkgInfo , which in turn contain the creator ID.

so in suites.odbEditor.editors.Text.edit, replace the line

local (ideditorapp = file.creator (user.odbEditors.TextEditor))

with

local (ideditorapp );
if system.environment.isCarbon and file.isFolder(user.odbEditors.TextEditor) {
 ideditorapp = string4(string.mid(file.readWholeFile(user.odbEditors.TextEditor + "Contents:PkgInfo"), 5, 4))}
else {
 ideditorapp = file.creator (user.odbEditors.TextEditor)}

This works for me on 10.3.9.

Its no a real solution which needs to fix the architecture of odbEditor I think.
