Wow, I use Open With ... BBEdit all the time. But I never tried setting the external XHTML editor.
When I tried just now (through Preferences > General Settings > Set your preferred alternative xhtml editor), it wouldn't let me select BBEdit.app. Instead, it treated BBEdit.app as a folder (or package). When I opened it, I got the package contents, and when I drilled down to what I think is the executable, it was greyed out and I couldn't select it.
I am on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra using Sigil 1.0.0.
ETA: Oh, double wow. I just tried to add PageEdit as my preferred alternative xhtml editor, and the same thing happened. What's more, when I tried Open With ... PageEdit, the same thing happened again.
It seems the only reason I can Open With ... BBEdit is because I had already set that in previous versions of Sigil way back when.
I just did a clean install, deleting my Sigil folder in Library > Application Support, and I can't add any application with Open With or Set preferred alternative xhtml editor.
