e prime crashes if subject presses response button twice

Tue Nov 8 16:11:28 UTC 2011

Hi Ben,

yeah, it is most sensible explanation. , I just run it once again, to make
sure it really is not a mislabelling problem, so I let all the images I use
and all the feedback options play out several times. After I made sure all
of them are uploading correctly, I just pressed, as before, same response
button twice, and sure enough- it crashed. Is it possible that for some
reason e-prime sees it as an ImageDisplay error?

Best, Jasmina
