For more details, please see the information at the following link to the Empirisoft forum: http://www.empirisoft.com/support/showthread.php/8487-Problem-withMediaLab-V2014-1-105-and-Inquisit-4-0-4-(case-13195) Best, Jason Reed --------------------- Jason Reed, Ph.D. Empirisoft Corporation 347 West 39th Street, 13th Fl New York, NY 10018

I found this link: http://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v4/html/howto/howtocommandline.htm And consistent with what's mentioned here, it looks like the way subject IDs are passed to Inquisit has changed. MediaLab has always passed the subject ID to Inquisit WITHOUT the -s. It seems Inquisit expects that now and so the old way no longer works. I'm tempted of course to change the code in MediaLab to accommodate this, but I don't want to BREAK compatibility for users still running Inquisit 3 and prior. What happens, e.g., if an Inquisit 3 user has MediaLab send the "-s 1000" command line parameters--will it just ignore the "-s", or will it break? Hmmm. Alternatively, is there any way to have Inquisit -assume- the old subject ID is being passed if only a single number appears as a command line option (e.g., so "1000" without the -s would still work)?

I don't know how MediaLab passes (or used to pass) those parameters to an Inquisit session. Note though that the command line syntax for invoking Inquisit 4 changed compared to Inquisit 3. You will find this covered in the "How to Launch Inquisit Using Command Line Parameters" topic in the Inquisit documentation.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 11	Hi there, I am using Medialab 2012.4.131 and when trying to pull up and Inquisit 4.0.4 script the program is requesting participant ID and condition details, which it used to get automatically from the medialab file (older version of medialab). Does anyone know how I might get around this so participants are not shown this screen and the information is generated automatically again? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
