Hi all,

Not a bug this time, but a feature that occasionally frustrates me.

Artemis does a sanity check prior to fitting, and if it detects a project has two instances of the same Athena data group, it will refuse to fit the new data.  IME this is not a particularly helpful warning, and a major hassle if I'm trying a couple different treatments of the same data to see how the FEFF fit is affected.

(The message is "This data came from the the same source as another data group.  You seem to be trying to increase your number of independent points by fitting the same data more than once in a multiple data set fit." But of course I'm not doing this; only one dupe is being fitted at a time.)

I don't see any option in the Artemis preferences to disable this warning, which means I have to spend effort deleting and loading data sets, and keeping a "dummy" data set I don't really care about to collect all my paths in.  Is the possibility of extremely novice users trying to fit multiple instances of the same data such a serious threat that this function needs to exist?  Is there any possibility of disabling this check, or giving an option to disable it in the Preferences?  It would save me from the occasional headache ...

Thanks,

Jason
