The problem began to occur when I updated my operating system. Prior to the update, the program was running fine but after the update, it refused to open any project files( Both Artemis project files and Athena project files). I am attaching a project file which I am unable to open.

Thank you!

Kurinji,

Could this be similar to the conversation discussed at http://millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov/pipermail/ifeffit/2014-August/012075.html ?  

It does appear quite possible to "break" an Artemis project file in such a way that it cannot be re-opened by Artemis.    This can happen if one does a fit and then re-runs Feff.    I don't know enough about the layout of the project files to know why this happens.

But, it would be most helpful if you gave more details (like, what operating system and Artemis version your using) and included a project file that showed the problem.

Hi,
Artemis had been working well on my laptop for a while. But today when I attempted to open a saved project file ( with a *.fpj extension), the program tried to open it for a while but then ultimately closed without any error messages. A similar thing occurred when I tried to import an Athena data file into Artemis. I was wondering if anybody had any idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Kurinji
