[solved] saving files to files pool

  Hi,

  If you save your experiment as .opensesame file, only the script will be saved. So that's probably happening. If you want to save your file pool along with the experiment, you need to select the .opensesame.tar.gz format.

  Does that clear things up?

  Cheers,

  Ok thanks
  the task was saved as .opensesame so this was the problem.
  Is there a way to load images not from the file pool but from, let say, ./images folder?

  Hi,

  Certainly, you can simply add a folder prefix to the file name. The logic of filename resolution is as follows:

  1. Check if the file is in the file pool (subfolders not supported).
  2. If not, check if the file is in the experiment folder.
  3. If not, check if the file is in the "fallback-pool folder" (mostly for versioning, see here).
  4. If not, assume that the file is either absolute or relative to the current working directory.

  Cheers!

  I am trying to save my experiment in the .opensesame.tar.gz format so that my file pool also saves. Each time I do this, I get a warning that I am saving as .opensesame and that my file pool will not be saved. I cannot get the experiment to save correctly. Help!
