I have found that very occasionally Artemis will save a project into Bruces' new zip file format, but neglect to actually add in some (or any) of the data and feff files. The first symptom is that the size of the saved project is much smaller than it should be. Thus when re-opened, the project looks fine, but Artemis cannot open any of the required files when a fit is attempted. The data can be replaced, but I can't find a way of replacing any feff calculations without re-entering all of the parameters.
That's news to me. I have not yet seen that problem myself. The next time it happens, if there is a trap file, please send it my way. If you are in that position again, I believe that you can recover without having to reenter all your path parameters. When you finish the feff calculation and you get the dialog about how many paths to import, choose the "No paths" option. You need to run feff again so that the feff data is in the project folder, but you don't need to import paths since you already have a list of them defined. That's the theory, anyway, and the reason for a "no paths" option. If your milage varies, let me know.
Anyway, the purpose of all that is that if you are putting a lot of work into your Artemis project, it may be worthwhile to back it up occasionally, or save under a new name.
I reckon it is impossible to overstate the wisdom of that advice.
