[solved] help! "not enough arguments for format string!"

edited December 2013 in OpenSesame

since there is no program for win7 of 64-bit, I have installed opensesame_0.27.4-win32-2. I want to make an experiment for android devices, but there happen to be a problem when I click the loop icon. I could see the codes but not the chart of independent variable. Instead, it pops up an error box indicating "not enough arguments for format string". this also appear when I click the "apply and close" icon in the script dialog of loop. So what is wrong? How could I see the independent variable chart and make some settings? Please help me. Thank you.

    Could you please post the script for the loop item?

    Btw., I noticed that the dialog says 'OpenSeasame' instead of 'OpenSesame'. Just to check: That is a typo in Chinese as well, right?

    Sorry to reply so late. The script for the loop item is simple as follows:

    set item "sequence"
    set cycles "1"
    set column_order ""
    run sequence
    

    It seems a bug for the 0.27.4 and 0.28prerelease editions, but not for the 0.27.3 edition.
    Moreover, I am surprised the interface of this software is Chinese in the 0.27.4 and 0.28 editions, while not in 0.27.3 edition. Is this why the above-mentioned problem occur?

    Indeed, there was a bug in the Chinese translation, which triggered this problem. I fixed this, so it should be resolved in the next 2.8.0 pre-release. For now, you can work around this by deleting the file resources\locale\zh_CN.qm in the OpenSesame folder. This will delete the Chinese translation and OpenSesame will fall back to English.

    Thanks for pointing this out!

    Cheers,
