Copy Paste to a loop very slow / Sequential
in OpenSesame
Hi,
When I try to copy / paste from either an Excel file or a UTF8 text file into a loop, opensesame hangs for quite some time. (I do it 50 per 50 items)
Is it normal ? Is there a trick to accelerate this ?

Hi Boris,
The
looptable is indeed very slow, but a few performance improvements have already been released (but not packaged with OpenSesame yet). What you could do is the following:First start OpenSesame (on Windows: as administrator and without opening a
loopitem). Then, in the debug window, type the following lines:If everything goes well, you should see in the System Information that you now have datamatrix 0.3.7.
Does that improve performance for you?
Cheers,

Hi Sebastiaan,
Yes i can now see in System Information that i have datmatrix 0.3.7. But that does not improve performances...

Hi Boris,
Let's try again.
You should end up with
datamatrix0.3.8 andqdatamatrix0.1.12. For me, this massively improves performance during pasting, from perhaps a minute or two to a second or two (for a large table).(I got an error message when upgrading, but the packages nevertheless upgraded. System Information will tell you which versions you have installed.)
Cheers,
Sebastiaan
