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?

in Stop experiment after correct responses to N trials Comment by sebastiaan October 2016

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…

in Test OpenSesame 3.1.3 with massive performance improvements! Comment by sebastiaan October 2016

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…

in Rookie question: 'sequence contains non-existing item' Comment by sebastiaan October 2016

@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…

in OpenSesame 3.1.2 "Jazzy James" has been released Comment by sebastiaan October 2016

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…

in [open] Conditional randomization Comment by sebastiaan October 2016

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 …
