  • Hi Thomas, This: (Quote) Is normal. I'm not sure where it comes from actually, I suspect from the OSF extension. In any case, this: (Quote) Is clearly the problem, because it means that Python itself has crashed; that is, not a bug in one of the…
  • Hi Thomas, As a first step, you can start OpenSesame via the command prompt. Presumably, OpenSesame will still crash, but then at least you can see the error message. Under Windows 7 (and presumably 10 as well), you can start the command prompt by …
  • Hi, A line like this: var.target_sketchpad = str.show ("target_var.target_pic") … in an otherwise reasonable script, suggests that you're trying to modify a script that you got from someone else, but that you don't actually know any Pyt…
  • @DahmSF While searching for a link to an example batch file, I noticed that you asked the same question already here , where @Jarik gave you a perfectly reasonable answer. Please help us maintain a clean forum, and don't double-post questions! (Im…
  • (Quote) What's clearly missing in your question is the actual error! Details please. In any case, the script that you posted is incorrect Python because the indentation is invalid; that is, else should always be preceded by just as many tabs as the…
  • Hi Johanna, You actually can't: The backup folder is hardcoded into the automatic_backup extension. It would be a nice feature though, so I filed an issue (#471) on GitHub. For now, to save space you could: * Reduce the interval at which backups …
  • Hi, The entire show-if statement should be one string: show_if="[arrow_condition]=congruent_left and [cue_condition]=left_congruent" See? If you need to quote within the string (in your case you don't though), you can either escape the …
  • I'm happy to, for once, report something more positive: Yes, the project is alive and well again. That is, the old project that started this discussion is dead. But Jaap Bos, an engineer from Groningen University, and our very own @Daniel are worki…
  • (Quote) If only life were so easy! The short answer is that PyGaze is not included with the OpenSesame runtime for Android, so you for sure won't be able to run a PyGaze experiment directly. However, it may be possible by bundling PyGaze yourself-…
  • Hi Stephan, Sounds like you need opensesamerun: * http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.1/manual/opensesamerun/ If you search the forum for this, you will also find plenty of examples of how you can use opensesamerun. Cheers! Sebastiaan
  • Hi Bryn, You're telling OpenSesame to generate an 8*8*8*8*8*8 design, which corresponds to a little over a quarter of a million trials. This, combined with that the loop table is admittedly a little slow, causes OpenSesame to freeze while doing so …
  • (Quote) This seems pretty basic. Maybe give it try yourself first, and if you get stuck you can ask always ask again. What do you say?
  • Hi guys, As of OpenSesame 3.1, you can also make use of the responses object, which keeps track of all responses. For example,responses.correct gives you a list with the correctness (0, 1, None) of all responses, where responses.correct[0] is the l…
  • Hi Moreno, These maintenance release, which increase only the last number of the version (3.1.2 → 3.1.3), don't have any new functionality. So no, sound recording still requires either plugins or a script, just like before. Regarding your other qu…
  • Hi guys, What happened is the following: * The slider is a plugin that was installed separately (it isn't a standard part of OpenSesame), presumably by the researcher that gave the experiment to you. * You then opened the experiment in an OpenSesa…
  • @TomArmstrong (Quote) As of OpenSesame 3.1, there are several advanced-loop operations. One of those is the horizontal shuffle, shuffle_horiz), which does exactly what most people (to my understanding) use nested lists for in E-Prime. * http://osd…
  • Hi Frouke, This is a question that comes up every now and again, but we don't have a satisfying solution yet. For now, you could attach it here to a forum post, or upload it to FigShare/ OSF and post a link here. Ideally there would be a dedicated…
  • Hi Stephan, That's odd--I've never seen that error before. Could you provide some more details? * When does this happen exactly? * What version of OpenSesame are you using? (And Python 2 or 3) * What operating system are you using? That will give…
  • (Quote) No, I'm afraid not! You can use 'No installation required' package though. (Quote) Probably, but you'll first have to give a concrete and complete description of your criteria. For example, do you mean: * One or two critical items followed…
  • Hi Aurelia, The tips in this discussion are a bit dated. As of v3.1, OpenSesame natively supports some forms of constrained randomization; that is, in the loop item, you can specify a maximum number of repetitions, or a minimum distance between rep…
  • Hi, This is probably best done with an image editor, such as Gimp, that allows you to add transparency (an alpha layer, as it's sometimes called). Once you have a semitransparent image, you can simply use that in OpenSesame. Cheers, Sebastiaan
  • The file is there--somewhere. But it's burried in the Mac OS app's folder structure, which I'm not familiar with. Maybe you can do file search to find it?
  • There is a file opensesame_resources\locale\de_DE.qm. That's the one you want.
  • If @fladd had been a real Python boss ;) , he would have spotted the issue immediately, because it is just a general Python error, unrelated to OpenSesame per se. You are calling the function draw_function before you have defined it. That is, this …
  • (Quote) python-fileinspector 1.0.2, which includes the fix, should be in the opensesame-james ppa now. (So the testing ppa, not the stable cogscinl ppa.)
  • I believe that, on Mac OS, you can browse the app folder (which is kind of like a zip file), and remove the de_DE.ts de_DE.qm file, similar to what is described above for Windows. I don't know the details though. @daniel, how does that work on Mac O…
  • (Quote) Yes! (Quote) Not easily, no. But the issues are resolved now, right?
  • Right, I see now. You're running Python 2 and PyQt5, which is unusual (usually it's Python 3 and PyQt5, or Python 2 and PyQt4) and until recently wasn't even possible. It's a good thing though, because PyQt5 is definitely smoother than PyQt4. @Dani…
  • I'm a bit puzzled by the UnicodeUTF8 issue. Could you run the following in the debug window and post the output here? (Pro tip: You can copy the script to the clipboard, and then enter %paste in the debug window.) import sysfrom qtpy import QtCorep…
