Hi Frank, No the order of the variables is fixed, although my intention was to have it completely alphabetic (so the fact that custom variables come first is a minor bug). Do you think it would be useful to make the order customizable? What would …

Hi Frank, A good point, which I hadn't really considered. There's no straight-forward way to do this, but it can be done with clever use of inline scripting and some conditional statements. I'm away from office at the moment, but when I get back I…

Thanks for the reply. I think the problems I'm experiencing are a combination of a non-ideal camera (it's this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0013QOIN0), an old (slow) laptop, uneven lighting and my own incompetence! You may be right (asi…

Haha, good to hear that you figured it out! And thank you for your interest in Qnotero.

Hi Naomi, Thanks for reporting this. No, unfortunately, chances are that it just doesn't work for your Mac. What version of Mac OS are you running? Knowing would help us to improve Mac OS support in the future. I'm sorry that it doesn't work. We'r…

I've solved the installation issue now (for the record, I had to type "sudo sh ./install.sh" for it to work). This is a bit unintuitive, but it's a general *nix thing. The problem is that programs need to be marked "executable",…

Hi Naomi, Thank you for your interest in OpenSesame! This is a bug in previous versions of OpenSesame. What you can do is A) update to 0.25 (released today) B) Work around the bug, by inserting the following script in the prepare phase of an inl…

Hi Rob, Thank you for your interest in OpenSesame and welcome to the forum! The Windows and Mac builds of OpenSesame are missing some modules that are required by the questionnaire plug-ins. These are easily installed by copying some files into th…

Hi Kirill, I just committed two Mac OS patches to the master branch. The problem was due to a slight difference in how Windows, Linux, and Mac OS handle the showing of a window, but it should be fixed now. I also disabled the "Run in window&qu…

Hi Ezerkar, Thank you for your interest in OpenSesame! No, there's no way to do that through the GUI, but you can set the duration to '0' and add a simple inline_script after the sketchpad: # Import and create mouse and keyboard objectsfrom opene…
-
Hi Kirill, Yes, perhaps it's a window focus issue then, which only affects the Mac. I have made some changes to the start-up process, to speed it up, which I haven't had the chance to test on a Mac yet. Fortunately, my colleague is actually setting…
-
Hi Kirill, Well, good, that's one step further then. As to why the main window doesn't appear, I'm quite baffled. The debug output is fine, the 'None' entries are normal. Do I understand correctly that the program doesn't terminate? I.e., that the …

Hi Kirill, Thank you for your interest in OpenSesame! And your perseverance, I might add, because it clearly wasn't a flawless experience. Traceback (most recent call last): File "opensesame", line 37, in opensesame.resume_init() File &q…

Hi Andrea, This post may describe what you're looking for: http://forum.cogsci.nl/index.php?p=/discussion/31/solved-multi-character-keyboard-response-or-simultaneous-sketchpad-and-text_input. Kindest regards. Sebastiaan

Would there be a relatively easy way for the output to be structured so the "important" (e.g., correct, response time, etc.) data is located in one place (e.g., leftmost columns) while the "housekeeping" output (e.g., background …

Right now we're finalizing 0.25, but for 0.26 I'll definitely include it (or something along those lines). Btw, if you'd like to do beta-testing, it might be worthwhile to install a Python environment. This way you can always download and test the l…

Alright, great! I'll mark it as solved. But please don't hesitate to re-open or start another discussion if you run into more issues.
-
Come to think of it: It may be best to design the tutorial around the upcoming 0.25 (the differences with 0.24 are minor, but especially for novices minor differences may throw them off). I hope to have a Mac OS test-package of 0.25-pre10 soon, in w…

Hi Roger, Another tutorial would be immensely helpful. I don't have any specific suggestions, but I noticed that the following aspects generally cause the most confusion, and may thus warrant some extra attention in the tutorial. * The loop - sequ…
-
Thanks for the feedback! Perhaps you could always have a "Overview" button to the left of the tabs. When this button is selected/active, whatever item is highlighted in the overview panel (either through clicking or scrolling), then appea…

You might be able to play .swf files, if there is a Python module for that (you'd have to Google), but that might not be the best way to go. If the timing of the rotation is not constant, you could use the actual timestamp, rather than the number of…
-
Awesome! Yes, I update the plug-ins quite regularly, clearing the issues as they crop up. I suspect that, in this case I was a bit sloppy with the version number, though. I'll mark it as solved for now.
-
It's hard for me to say how drift correction problems and startRecording errors might be related. The OpenSesame plug-ins simply wrap around the Eyelink software, which is closed so I have no insight into what goes on underneath. Quite conceivably, …
-
I'm not too familiar with flash, but swf format is the actual Flash program, right? No, OpenSesame cannot read that. The media player plug-in may be able to play Flash video content (.flv), but you'd have to try. In any case, you could convert a .fl…

Ah ok, yes, that's probably because you clear the canvas after every frame (otherwise you'd get lots of arms in your clock). So you need to redraw the image after every clear(), and before show(), and you should be good!
-
Alright, so let's track it down further. There are two slightly different error messages: Failed to start recording (startRecording error) and Failed to start recording (waitForBlockStart error) Which one do you get? (Or does it vary?) If you se…
-
To creating the compete clock, I thought that I can put the canvas rotation above a jpeg image of the clock face. So the canvasses appear above a background image. I've read the Python documentation but I didn't find the method to do this. Yes, tha…

Hi Alex, That's weird. If you get to this point, it sounds like the Eyelink software/ PyLink have been installed properly, which is usually the cause for trouble. So, let's track the problem down: * Do the demo Python Eyelink experiments, bundled …

Here's a small snippet that shows a mouse-controlled slider. You will probably want to modify it a bit, but hopefully it conveys the general idea. You can find more about the canvas functions (for drawing) here: http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/python-inline-…

Hi Evt, Welcome to the forum and thank you for your interest in OpenSesame! I'm afraid I don't fully understand the question. Do you want to: * Ask a number of questions, which are the same for all participants, but in randomized order * Collec…
