Hi! I'm running a number of scripts in a large batch. All scripts use the same images, so I think the experiment could be sped up by pre-loading images at the start of the batch script. How would I do that, if it can be done?

You canot load stimulus files in a batch. The first task script you administer, however, can download all the images, so later scripts don't have to.

To do so, add a <picture> element to the script with all the image files as its /items. That's it, the <picture> element does not have to actually be used anywhere in the task.

Thank you Dave!
