Hi Changwook, I had a similar issue, but my solution hasn’t been put up yet on the list: With respect to the error that Katherine Davies reported (02/16/2016; RE: [Ifeffit] problem with Artemis crashing on mac), I came across the same problem when running Artemis on Mac – v.frustrating. I believe this issue is caused due to a piece of code found in “artemis.pm” (Demeter/UI/artemis.pm) line 512-521: 512 sub process_argv { 513 my ($app, @args) = @_; 514 if (Demeter->co->default("artemis", "autosave") and autosave_exists()) { 515 import_autosave(); 516 } elsif ($args[0]) { # and -e $args[0]) { 517 my $file = File::Spec->rel2abs( $args[0] ); 518 read_project(\%frames, $file) if Demeter->is_zipproj($file, 0, 'fpj'); 519 }; 520 }; I think the error is due to not shutting down the program correctly causing this code to fail. A temporary fix is to comment out lines 514-516, 519, save the file and reboot Artemis – thus getting you past startup and allowing you to turn off the autosave settings from within Artemis as suggested. Hope this helps.

I got a trouble on running the software. Once the Artemis shut down by accident, (during import .inp file), the problem occurred. When I reopen the Artemis, It tries to restore previous file but it never worked. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times but I can only see same unlimited loading screen… Athena works well.
