sorry to spam, but I just received an automated message saying that the

Subject: [Ifeffit] Bug when adding feff calculations
Attachment name: Copper foil.fpj
in case the other attachments were blocked as well, I'm reattaching them.
is there a way to attach athena/artemis files without having the servers
block them?
thanks,

Hi,
I'd like to report 2 bugs that I have when dealing with Feff calculations. One is critical (program crashes), the other is more troublesome, but i've found ways around it.
OS: Windows 7, SP1 Demeter version: 0.9.18
*1) Critical - Trying to add single scattering paths of arbitrary lengths. This used to work with an older version of the program, but now, no matter what I do, when I add a single scattering path with any length, the program crashes*
I've attached the log file (dartemis.log)* * * * How to replicate: -import any file (i've attached Cu.inp for ease of comparison) -run atoms -run feff -load an athena file (i've attached Cu foil.apj) -go to "Path like" tab -input any bond distance, and drag path over to the path list *-*program should crash
This problem occurs both with cif files and inp files (and several of both file types have been tried), and (so far) any type of data set I try to import into athena. I've just chosen the attached files for their simplicity.
2) Not critical - I deal with a lot of organometallic compounds whose cif files correspond of only 1 absorbing atom surrounded by a network of non-absorbing atoms. i.e. not a regular, repeating lattice.* *When I import the cif file for one of these compounds (*see attachment, schrock 1.cif*), the Atoms page is fine, but in the Feff page, the "potentials" lists the absorbing atom as ipot 0 and 1: POTENTIALS * ipot Z tag 0 74 W 1 74 W 2 8 O 3 7 N 4 6 C 5 1 H while in the atoms list, it only appears once as ipot 0. Naturally, if I just click "run Feff", the program returns an error.
My workaround to this has been to copy the atoms list into notepad, save, import into excel, subtract 1 from the ipot column (besides ipot 0), and replace the old atoms list with the corrected atoms list. then I manually change the potentials to: POTENTIALS * ipot Z tag 0 74 W 1 8 O 2 7 N 3 6 C 4 1 H
after this it works fine.
So this isn't a big burden, after a bit of practice I've gotten pretty fast at editing the Feff file, but if there's some easier solution it would be great.
This problem occurs with any monomeric compounds. If I run the feff on a dimeric organometallic compound, there's no problems.
Please let me know if there's any additional information I can supply that would help with this.
thanks, Georges Siddiqi
