Pycharm cannot read scpt files correctly - UTF-8 encoding issues

[codecowboy]

I tried opening scpt files in pycharm with this plugin loaded. The scpt files were saved in Script Editor on Ventura 13.4 (M1Pro Macbook)

I get the error 'This file was loaded in a wrong encoding 'UTF-8' and the script appears in the editor but is garbled. I tried a couple of other encodings but couldn't resolve this.

Does the plugin only open .applescript files? The screenshots seem to show .scpt files which are binary I believe.
