Refmac (and dm and pirate and probably some other programs like phaser
too) will only restore missing reflections if there are entries (albeit
bblank ones) for those reflections in the MTZ file.
So it's not a matter of running uniquify before refmac, its a matter of
running uniquify before you run *anything* - i,e. when you first create
an mtz file.
If you are importing from another format using the 'Convert to MTZ' task
in the GUI, this will be done for you unless you specifically turn it
off. However it looks as though 'Truncate' task doesn't seem to do it by
default - you have to click the button if you came in by this route.

Dear CCP4bb,
I was looking through the REFMAC manual today and found the following
advice:
"Completing the data to include all possible hkls. Should do this after
data reduction, and certainly before using REFMAC. This is now done with
the uniqueify script. It is best done using CCP4i."

Is it a good idea to always run uniqueify on data before running REFMAC
- what about other refinement programs such as SHELX, CNS or phenix.refine?
