inserting a picture in loop
hi all,
i am conducting a visual search task, and would like to import my own pictures as stimuli (see stim1.jpg and stim2.jpg as below). However, i seem to have trouble getting it to load on opensesame, as it constantly appears as strings, instead of the images i uploaded in the file pool. What should i do?
Thank you for your help!

Hi @carrot44,
It looks as if you're trying to use the same variable to convey the content of a text element and the name of a picture file to be displayed by an image element on a sketchpad. That can't work. If you have a text element and feed it a string that contains a file name, it'll just be treated as a string. To display a picture, you must use an image element. Also, you'd have to use distinct columns to specify content to be displayed at text and a filename to be used to display an image.
Best,
Fabrice.
