I see that the mzML converter in the TPP offers the centroid option in the Petunia interface. I assume this also uses Masswolf for centroiding? At this point the masswolf centroid is my only real option, except for converting the files to pkl, at which point I am not sure if I can run them through the TPP, correct me if I am wrong here.
