Hi.

My task is:
Open simple txt files in script editor from gdscript code safely.

I know, script editor can open txt files from editor's user interface, but how I can do this trick from code? I find some solution, but what way isn't stable for Engine.

So, my code here:

tool
extends Node2D

export (String, FILE, "*.txt")  var cutscene_file = "" setget open_file

export (bool)  var to_edit = false setget back_to_write

func open_file(new_path):
    if (cutscene_file != new_path):
        cutscene_file = new_path

func back_to_write(go):
    if Engine.editor_hint && go:
        var file = load(cutscene_file)
        if (file != null):
            EditorPlugin.new().get_editor_interface().edit_resource(file)
            # ^ This row make these problems
        file = null

If code runs successfully, I see this errors in output:

core/object.cpp:2012 - Object [Object:34316] was freed or unreferenced while a signal is being emitted from it. Try connecting to the signal using 'CONNECT_DEFERRED' flag, or use queue_free() to free the object (if this object is a Node) to avoid this error and potential crashes.

core/object.cpp:2012 - Object [Object:34315] was freed or unreferenced while a signal is being emitted from it. Try connecting to the signal using 'CONNECT_DEFERRED' flag, or use queue_free() to free the object (if this object is a Node) to avoid this error and potential crashes.

In other rare cases, Engine crashes.

How can I get an editor interface in code? I didn't find anything in code reference, what not includes "EnginePartThing.GetOtherThingThatYouNeed" to do.

This plugin can edit text files in Godot, so maybe you can check out the code there?

Wow!) Really nice thing!)

I made some simple plugin myself at what moment, maybe I try modify code from link for my own purposes)

Thanks!)
