URL of experiment: https://run.pavlovia.org/mnentwich/button_response_test
Description of the problem: Hi, I have set up a very simple task that collects button responses during a movie. Most things works fine, but I had a question about the info dialog:
- I do not necessarily want to show the info dialog as I don’t need any input there. I have the following settings in psychopy:

However, when I pilot the study some minimal window still shows up:

Is there any way not to show this at all? If it has to be shown, where do I change the label ‘untitled’?
By the way, is this shown because I have a movie file that has to be downloaded?
I would appreciate any help on this.
Best,
Max
Hi Max,
This dialogue box is always shown, even if the experiment has nothing to download. I think you might be able to hide it, but I wouldn’t recommend it for two reasons:
- You’d need to do some funky coding, which can make it more difficult to change or update your experiment later on.
- Downloading video can take a while on slower connections; showing some kind of progress bar assures your participants everything is going as it should.
About your other question. I think the title of the dialog box is based on the file name of your experiment (the .psyexp file)
Best, Thomas

Thanks, that makes sense. In that case I can make it more informative so people know what they are waiting for.
