@biorolrainer It looks like your HTML file uses an encoding other than UTF-8. Unfortunately, Brackets only supports UTF-8 encoded files at the moment. Closing this bug since support for other encodings is already tracked by this user story on our backlog. Feel free to upvote or follow the backlog story.
In the meantime, you should be able to convert these files to UTF-8 in order to edit them with Brackets (that should also eliminate the warning you saw in that other editor).
Dear Brackets developer, Recently I discovered Brackets for web development. I'm not a pro and just started to learn html, css, etc. I made in the past a website with a WYSIWYG editor (Freeway 5.5 pro), which worked fine for me in that time. Now I want to understand the code behind it and was thinking to experiment with some html editors. Brackets came along and I love it. However, opening the index file of my website results in an error: "an error occurred when trying to open the following files". This happened not with other editors. However, with the editor "Tincta", it says by first opening: "this file maybe contains binary code". But it open it perfectly fine. Brackets do not want to open any html file in my website project, however css files open fine. Under following link you can find the index.html files of my website project: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/383026/www.lekkerarte.nl/index.html
If you could help me why it doesn't work, I would be happy. Many thanks in advance, Roland
