Saving changes made in the general script editor

samih

Hi all,

I'm trying to modify a previous experiment (IAT) wrote with an older version of Open Sesame (2.95). I succeed to import the script and modify the pool of pictures used during the experiment but then I face two issue (one approximatively resolved).

1. When trying to test the experiment on my mac the software returned me the error ".png do not find". I tried to correct this issue by changing the line of the script editor that call the pictures "draw image 'x'.png" (where 'x' stand for the name of the pictures which is define before) by "draw image 'experience_path/'x'.p,g" (where 'experience_path' is the path to the pool of pictures). I have one questions about this : 1) Will this tweak work even if I put the experiment on tablets ?
2. When adding this tweak the code doesn't return me the same error message. The second error I'm facing is that one item (a sketchpad) is called by a sequence, but that element doesn't exist. So I tried to edit the general script editor but I didn't succeed to apply and save my change which would resolve this error. Do you know i it's possible to edit part of the general script editor to do such a change ? If so how can I save the change made directly in the general scipt editor ?

Thanks,

Hi,

Very hard to say. I suggest just try. If not you can always adapt the experiment so that it works.

Do you know i it's possible to edit part of the general script editor to do such a change ?

This should be possible. However, editing things in the general editor can be tricky, particularly if you add/remove items. Unless you know what you are doing, I wouldn't try it. The problem you describe, sounds like something I have seen a couple of times in the past when experiments are being migrated from 2.9 or older to 3.0r more recent. Generally, I have made the experience, that it will be cleaner and make you much more happy if you start your experiment from scratch. That is, you can probably still copy the contents of the items, one by one from the old to the new experiment, just not everything at once (some garbage would be copied as well).

Hope this helps,

Eduard
