OS X EI Capitan 10.11.6:
**PsychoPy version 1.83.04 ** : Standard Standalone (y) : What are you trying to achieve?:
To learn the application with a simple test which aimed to present a sentence. What did you try to make it work?:
i’ve downloaded another version, but nothing changed. i’ve tried to fix it according to the manual (pages: 240-241), but couldn’t find the file appData.cfg. What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
Include pasted full error message if possible. “That didn’t work” is not enough information.
even there weren’t any error or warnings in output panel of coder view when i run the simple builder experiment. Sentences below appears in output panel only if I run in the coder view:

i really thank you for your replying. i’ve tried to manually turn off the viewing of output just like what the manual told me, in page 240. But i couldn’t find the appData.cfg file, only could find the appData.spec file, which was the only file named appData in the Psychopy2.app folder. By the way, there was only one folder named contents in the Psychopy2.app package contents, no way to find ~/.psychopy2/appData.cfg. i had no choice but to open appData, however, i still couldn’t find the entry which the manual showed:
[coder]
showOutput = True
Then i couldn’t turn off the viewing of output successfully.
The contents of appData.spec are as follows:
lastFrame = string(default='both')
skipVersion=string(default='') #skipping any updates of this version
tipIndex = integer(default=0)
flowSize = integer(0,2,default=2)
routineSize = integer(0,2,default=2)
showLoopInfoInFlow = boolean(default=False)
testSubset = string(default='all tests')
[coder]
winX = integer(default=100)
winY = integer(default=100)
winH = integer(default=800)
winW = integer(default=600)
auiPerspective = string(default='')
state = option('normal','maxim', default='normal')
fileHistory = list(default=list()) #files in history
prevFiles = list(default=list()) #file open on last save
showIndentGuides = boolean(default=True)
showWhitespace = boolean(default=True)
showEOLs= boolean(default=False)
[builder]
fileHistory = list(default=list()) #files in history
prevFiles = list(default=list()) #file open on last quit
[[favComponents]]
ImageComponent = integer(default=20)
[[frames]]
[[[__many__]]]
winX = integer(default=50)
winY = integer(default=50)
winH = integer(default=600)
winW = integer(default=800)
auiPerspective = string(default='')
state = option('normal','maxim', default='normal')
lastOpened = integer(default=0)
[[defaultFrame]]
winX = integer(default=50)
winY = integer(default=50)
winH = integer(default=600)
winW = integer(default=800)
auiPerspective = string(default='')
state = option('normal','maxim', default='normal')
lastOpened = integer(default=0)
i’m not sure whether it could help, just in case, i paste it. As the only way which i knew, finding answers from the manual, was failed, nobody i knew has used this application, while i really needed this app to accomplish my experiment, then i tried to find some help here. Again, Thanks.
