I, of course, agree that losing work is a serious problem and it is
clear that something has happened to leave Artemis confused about the
contents of the project file.

It is not obvious to me what the problem is and I have never seen this
one before.  I will do some forensic work to figure out why the
information in the project file is not being imported correctly, but
that may be time consuming.

It would be helpful to me to have any information about the background
of this problem.  Does this happen consistently for you?  That is, if
you import
  * data and feff
  * make a simple model
  * run one fit
  * save the file
  * and close artemis

will it behave this way for you on your computer?  Or is there
something that you have to do to trigger this behavior?

One work-around that /might/ help (or might not, I don't know as I
don't yet understand the problem) is to occassionally select "Save
current fit" from the File menu.  This writes a project file with only
the current fitting model and none of the history.
