can't open Opensesame experiment saved on laptop: Unicode problem
Hi! :)
Since today I can't open a study that I programmed in Opensesame anymore. I get the error
" Failed to open the file for the following reason:
Failed to open file.
Details:
item-stack: ``
time: Sun Mar 14 17:39:20 2021
exception type: UnicodeDecodeError
exception message: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x82 in position 11: invalid start byte"
If I can't open the file, I also can't try to solve this problem...
Can someone help me plese?
Thank you very very much in advance!

Hi @iris_ferr ,
It sounds like the experiment file has been corrupted for some reason. If you open the backup folder under Menu → Tools → Open backup folder, then maybe you have a recent backup that you can revert to? You could also upload the experiment file here so that I can see what is wrong with it exactly.
