Generate Screen Capture misses screens

jeff.smith — Fri, 27 May 2016 17:35:49 GMT

This is by no means a big issue, but an issue nonetheless.

The Generate Screen Capture option from the menu will consistently miss certain screens and omit certain parts of a screen.

Ex. I have a Likert-based experiment that has two trials. The instructions for the second trial are not Screen Captured.

Ex. I have a survey page that uses a text stimulus frame and presents an image using the /questions element. The text stimulus is not included on the Screen Capture.

Ciao for now,

Jeff

Thanks for the OS details. I've tested again under 32-bit Windows 7 and am unfortunately still unable to reproduce any completely missed screens. Not sure what may be going on here, but I'll of course include it in the bug report nonetheless.

Issue occurs under Windows 7 Enterprise, SP 1, 32-bit, I5-4200U, 4GB Ram.

The defaults for the size parameter are pixels (according to help file), so I haven't specified px. It is functioning as intended.

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot either of the issues where a screen is completely missed from being Screen Captured. At least the missing boxes are missing for you :P

Thanks for the code and additional details:

#1: I seem to be unable to reproduce the issue with HHHI_Likert_demo.iqx. The screen captures I'm getting display all stimuli presented, for both <likert> elements. Are you seeing this under Windows, OSX, or both?

Possibly unrelated, but perhaps worth pointing out:

<text HHHIpage>
/size = (500, 70)
...
</text>

The /size definition may be interpreted as percentages, i.e. giving the <text> element a width of 500%, and a height of 70%. I suspect the intention is to define the size in pixels, in which case

<text HHHIpage>
/size = (500px, 70px)
...
</text>

would be the proper explicit definition.

#2: While I am able to reproduce the "missing input box and submit button" issue, I am unable to reproduce the "screen capture for the 2nd <openended> is missing" problem with HHPercent_Likert_demo.iqx. On my test system at least, screen captures are generated for both instances of the <likert>. Here, too, are you seeing this under Windows, OSX, or both?

Thanks!

Just a clarification:

"Ex. I have a Likert-based experiment that has two trials. ~~The instructions for the second trial are~~ One question from the first trial is not Screen Captured."

See HHHI_Likert_demo.iqx for that issue.

See Closing_demo.iqx (with ClosingWeb_MainLogo.gif) for the following issue: Ex. I have a survey page that uses a text stimulus frame and presents an image using the /questions element. The text stimulus is not included on the Screen Capture.

See HHPercent_Likert_demo.iqx for an issue where the text box and "Press Enter to Continue" button are missing from the screen captures of open-ended responses; and the second open-ended question is not Screen Captured.

Could you share the code for the two <likert> elements and indicate which specific stimuli are missing in one vs the other? Thanks.
