[Ifeffit] Conflicting FEFF calculation

[Robert Gordon]

Hi Ashis,

I can reproduce what you are seeing.
I exported the atoms.inp's for your two structures.

If I import TAA first and run atoms, it looks ok. I then import TPA and 
run - ok.
I re-run Atoms on TAA, it changes.

In fact, from a clean start of Artemis 0.9.25 on win10pro/AMD64, if I 
import TAA's inp and run it, it looks ok.
I added it again, it still looks ok, even if I re-run Atoms. I add TPA 
and run it, it looks ok, but if I rerun
either of the TAA, they have changed. Changes persist even if TPA discarded.

 From another clean start of Artemis, I import TAA and run Atoms - ok.
I import a different inp (ni metal) and run it - ok. Re-run TAA and it 
is ok.

 From another clean start, I import Ni metal and run it...ok
Import TPA and run it...ok...Rerun Ni and Ni changes...definite symmetry 
change.
This symmetry change persists even if I discard TPA and import another 
copy of Ni.

Clean start, import Ni and run, then import another Rhombohedral 
structure (B phase)
and same problem...symmetry changes and I don't seem to be able to get 
it to change back,
even when I deliberately change the space group for Ni and it is the 
only calculation remaining.

Clean start...import Ni...ok....add rhombohedral structure (B) but don't 
run it..rerun Ni and Ni changes.

Clean start, import hexagonal structure (in P6)...ok...import 
Ni...ok....change hex to Rhomb indexed on hex
and Ni changes when rerun...

So...problem seems to be related to the symmetry - stuck in Rhombohedral 
once a R-structure
is added...or symmetry changed to R.

Haven't tried on Linux yet.

-R.
