Dear Sebastiaan,

I'm using the latest version of opensesame (thanks for that . Thing is I need to view the entire script of the experiment I've constructed (and I use a Mac). Could you help out please? Thanks

Best,
Hansika

Hi Hansika,

If you go to the tab labeled 'General properties', you will see a button labeled 'Script editor'. If you click this button, you will see the entire script of the experiment.

Cheers!

I found a small bug: When you quit opensesame while having an experiment open with unsaved changes, you are first asked if you are sure you want to quit opensesame. If you click "yes" then you are presented with another dialog stating "This experiment contains unsaved changes. Do you want to save your experiment" and the options "Yes","No" or "Cancel". If I press cancel, OpenSesame just quits (which is the same behavior as "No"). Shouldn't pressing cancel prevent OpenSesame from quitting?

sebastiaan

Right, thanks! Indeed, 'cancel' should cancel. I filed an issue on this.

Hi Sebastian,

I actually am a brand-new user of OpenSesame and I really wanted to thank you for its usefulness , but I have a little problem (and I don't really know where I should adress my questions ) , my item toolbar is no more dubbed on the right hand of the screen and happened to be dragged (by a mistake of mine) in the middle , I can't drag it back to its place (the part of the toolbar that enable this is out of reach ) : so could you help me set back the default parameter ( I already have reinstalled OpenSesame but it didn't worked)

sebastiaan

To reset the configuration, you would need to need to use a registry editor, find OpenSesame, and remove all OpenSesame-related entries, notably _initial_window_geometry. Assuming that you are running Windows, that is, because the way that the configuration is saved depends on the operating system.

But I doubt that all of this will be necessary though. Can't you simply drag the window back to its correct position? For example as described here:
