Stefano,

I think I see the problem here.  I suspect that you are changing
project files by selecting "File->Open data file or project file", then
answering "New" to the dialog that asks if you want to change data
files or open a new data file, then answering in the affirmative to
the question about discarding the current file.  Is that correct?

It seems that sequence of events is handled incorrectly by artemis.
When you try to open a new project without explicitly closing the
current project, artemis gets confused about which project folder to
use.

There seems to be a work-around.  If, instead, you always explicitly
close a project before opening a new project, artemis seems to behave
correctly.

I tried this on linux and OSX but not windows and saw the same
behavior in both.  All is well if you explicitly close the current
project.  All is not well if you do not explicitly close it.

Thanks for the heads up.  At least there is a work-around for this
one.
