Hi, mzR will soon get the long-awaited update of the embedded proteowizard [1] as a nice christmas present. Part of that update is the removal of the older Ramp Backend, which results in dropping the ability to read the mass spectrometry file format mzDdata.
If there is anyone out there who needs mzData for some production pipeline, please speak up now. It would be possible to port the old mzData support on top the new proteowizard, but we will not be able to do that (I tried, and grew a fair amount of new grey hair). I can do a bit of hand-holding on the steps that would be required. Conversion of mzData to mzML is possible with the OpenMS FileConverter tool [2]. mzR will continue to support mzML, netCDF and mzXML. We will accirdingly change mzData files in the msdata package to mzML.
