Paul: I haven't seen this specific error, but I do see the dialog twice (which seems sort of funny). When I first start the import, it asks me if I wat to replace or add. Then when I actually select a file, I see the dialog again. If I answer the same way twice everythong works as expected. I have a couple of other minor problems which are annoying me in artemis. These might be a problem with my installation (Debian Linux with KDE) but here goes: 1. The most important is the fact that when I start a new project with a single data set in artemis, the "Data Control" box which makes the data and fit plot after the fit is complete is NOT selected. I understand that it should not be under my control when there is only a single data set but it should at least be set by default. The annoying thing is that I need to plot a fit by hand every time I press the big green button. I have not found any flags in the preferences that might help this. The good news is that if I write the project out, exit artemis and then reopen the project with a NEW version of artemis, the box is now selected. If I just close the project and reopen it without running artemis again, then it is not selected. 2. In artemis, the default location for opening new files seems always to be in a place where I don't want it. If I start artemis from a command line and try to import project data, it places me in the horae stash directory rather than in the working directory where I launched artemis. Once I have changed to where the data file is located and I want to import a new data set, I find myself in the same horae stash directory. Opening a file with the open file menu seems to behave properly. If I start artemis from the menu bar (KDE under Debian), then the open file menu item puts me in a directly somewhere in my home path (in this case /home/segre/junk) but I don't know how it determines this. I suspect that it was a directory that I once used but if I move around to somewhere else, then it does not remember where is last was and returns to this same directory. This default does not seem to be changed upon exit, it always remains the same. I have gone into my .horae directlry and grepped for this default directroy but it does not seem to be in any of the *rc files. I am mystified... 3. I often find that the "X" boxes for the upper ranges of k, R and q are outside the space allowed in the main part of the screen. I think I have fixed this by expanding the main window size in the preferences (15 instead of 14) so clearly it must be font size problem on my installation. I also notice that the fonts in the "Artemis palettes" window (with the Messages, Results, etc.) are not fully formed and hard to read. Carlo On Mon, 15 Aug 2005, Paul Fons wrote:

I have had been bitten by surprisingly few bugs in the latest version of artemis, but I thought I would pass along an observation of one that should be easy to confirm. I am doing multiple edge fits and have in the past imported new data by using the project data item in the file menu. Selecting this brings up a dialog which asks if the new (path) data should replace the old data or should it be new (e.g. a new feff calculation). It doesn't appear to make any difference which option is selected, it always replaces the existing data. I seem to remember that this used to work in earlier versions... In any case, a work around is just to use the open item under the file menu which then does generate a new feff calculation entry.

Oh, one more thing, as I recall Calculation is misspelled in the theory menu (it hurts to look at it as I live in a land with a lot of broken English (Japan))!

I'm not sure if I should be pleased that there have been few bugs or insulted that you felt you needed to use the work "surprisingly"! ;-)

Yup, this was broken. Thanks for the catch. It'll be fixed next time.
