Summary in survey script ignored

Group: Forum Members Posts: 9, Visits: 13	Hello, We were running several scripts succesfully on Inquisit v. 4.0.2 in May 2013. Now we decided to continue our research and ran the very same scripts again on v. 4.0.4 and 4.0.5. Only after completing this part of the study we realized, that two important summary data files are dated May 2013, and contain only old data. No new data was added to them. This was hard to spot as all raw files and summary data files in other scripts were ok. Unfortunately, in effect, we lost many hours of testing... At first we thought we somehow accidentally overwritten the new summary files with the old ones even though it seemed quite unlikely. But I inspected the problem closer and run the scripts in an empty folder, where there was no summary data file to append to. None was created. Only raw data. The original experiment was run on PCs, I am now testing the script on Mac. Same problem on both platforms. I read the change log of Inquisit, and if I got it right, some bug was corrected that made the program fail to write summary data while writing the raw data ok. Just our problem. Looks like the correction did solve it in some cases but introduced it in other. The problematic scripts are too long to include here, but of course I can send them if necessary. Sincerely Piotr
