NBS Presentation and PsychoPy not agreeing

Ooh, this looks like deep magic. I’m not used to seeing errors that arise in actually generating the experiment code, they are very rare (and indicate the problem is with PsychoPy, not you).

Hi @dvbridges do you know about this? I seem to be able to duplicate an error in compiling a .py file simply by having a static period referred to in the “update” popup menu of the image field of an image component, but the error is slightly different:

I wonder if you’ve got any clues what might be causing this. Odd that it hasn’t been reported before. Makes me worry that people aren’t using this feature as often as they should be…
