Hi Bruce and Alison, I am able to confirm the behavior reported by Alison (both bigger and lesser problems) on OSX 10.8.5. Pressing the "transfer displayed path" button causes Artemis to crash and the message below to print to the terminal. 2014-04-18 11:18:26.309 perl5.16[1309:707] *** WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:] is deprecated in MacOSX 10.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] instead. Can't locate object method "transfer" via package "Wx::Panel" at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Demeter/UI/Artemis/Data.pm line 1126, <F> line 9.

I am running Demeter 0.9.18 installed on a Mac 10.6.8 via the (very helpful!) Macports port. I've had nearly no problems with processing my data, but Artemis appears very strange. Most of the button can't be seen and are black instead (I've attached a screenshot). The bigger problem is that once I run a Feff calculation, I can't seem to transfer the paths from the Feff Window into the Data Window (see second screenshot). The program seems to think it's doing it--there are no error messages in the log and it even makes the little graphic as it 'grabs' the path--but it never transfers it over to the Data Window.

I have attached a project file where I get this error, the feff input file that I run the calculation on, and two screenshots of what Artemis looks like for me. I don't think the input and project file matter much since this happens for me even with examples from the various courses Bruce has given.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Alison,

First off, I apologize that it has taken me so long to respond to this. Busy time.

I don't quite understand the bigger problem. This is certainly not a problem I have on other platforms. Do other Mac users observe the same behavior?

As for the lesser problem, looking at the icons across the top in your screenshots, it would seem that you are using some kind of color theme that is different from a Mac out of the box. Is that right? If so, how does the software behave if you change the theme back to the default?

Cheers, B

Sorry too for the delay in responding. I’m seeing the same black window background on OS X 10.9.2. I have sent Bruce a private email with the code changes that I used to fix it. Cheers! Frank Schima NIST
