experiment won't open

I have managed to download opensesame on my mac and I am trying to open two experiments on it, one of them can be opened but the other one comes up with 'failed to open' and item-stack: ``
exception type: IOError
exception message: CRC check failed 0x402d4231 != 0xe63e6053L
time: Thu Oct 19 18:16:26 2017

I am just confused as I don't think it is a problem with my mac because the other experiment has opened on it?

  • Hi,

    It sounds like the experiment file is corrupted, which can happen for any number of reasons. To try and recover the file, you could:

    • Download 7zip
    • Rename the experiment file to temp.tar.gz
    • Open temp.tar.gz with 7zip

    7zip will probably complain that the file is corrupted, but may provide a way to recover its content anyway. Of course, not all forms of corruption are recoverable.

    Cheers,
    Sebastiaan
