@feronull @jarek-foksa. Ok thanks for the info. I agree with jarek-foksa it is still a bit tricksy and I would prefer to access the file i/o with native code. W

  You have to implement a bridge between JavaScript and native environment that will allow you for passing messages between them. This is already done in Brackets, you could just copy/paste the code from https://github.com/adobe/brackets-app/blob/master/src/win/cefclient/brackets_extensions.cpp https://github.com/adobe/brackets-app/blob/master/src/win/ce... and https://github.com/adobe/brackets-app/blob/master/src/win/cefclient/res/brackets_extensions.js https://github.com/adobe/brackets-app/blob/master/src/win/ce... as it's under MIT license. With the bridge in place you can access files from JavaScript as follows: brackets.fs.readFile('path/to/file.txt', 'utf-8', function(file) { console.log(file); }); There are also corresponding methods for writing files, deleting files and reading whole directories.
