[open] compatibility with mac
I have installed Open Sesame on my mac, and it seems to work fine. However, I cannot open files created on a Windows computer. I get notices like 'multiple_choice not recognized' etc. Is it possible to create files that can be used by both Mac and Windows computers?
Thanks

Hi Ineke,
OpenSesame experiments are platform independent, but they do require that all plug-ins used by the experiments are installed on the system. In your case, the questionnaire plug-ins are probably missing:
For plug-in installation instructions, see:
Hope this helps!

I also have a compatibility problem: I cannot open the script I compiled on Mac from Windows 8.1. This is the error message:
Failed to open file
line: 88
exception message: No module named form_text_render
exception type: ImportError
Traceback (also in debug window):

Do I also have to install plug-ins?
Thank you
Hi Harold,
You're right. In order to open your experiment, you need to install all plugins that you used when compiling the script on your Mac. An explanation how to do this, you can find here
Good luck,
