Hi everyone,
I’ve got psychopy on my lab computer which is not connected to the internet. On Wednesday I saved my experiment to a USB stick so that I could get it on another machine and sync it so that I had a version in git should I ever have an issue with the computer.
I thought I was doing a sensible thing by deleting all the data files as these are not needed and had been generated by all my testing. Now I’ve come into the lab and I cannot open any psychopy experiment I have on the machine.
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the software which went smoothly. Psychopy tries to open but then fails mid way through opening. I’ve moved the deleted data files back into the data folder from the recycling bin. They’re not needed but I haven’t made any other changes.
Thanks, Wakefield. I’ve tried to find the appData.cfg but I can’t see it in any folder as I thought this might be the issue from another thread. I’ve also done a search across all files but I can’t see it. Would it be a hidden file by chance? I’ve also tried to find any hidden files but can’t see any.
That has worked. Thank you. Would you mind sharing a little bit of info about what that file does? I’m still very much learning the ropes with PsychoPy
appData.cfg stores information about your current session of PsychoPy so it will look similar next time.
One issue I have noticed is that sometimes in the “frames” section (which stores information about all of the experiments you use) it will have the same experiment mentioned twice, which breaks PsychoPy when you try to open it.
