Hi Ben,

50gb for one file? That's impressive. That could be much improved with 
compression (which the Agilent MH format also does), but since you need 
to peak pick the MSn to identify them in most search engines, try this 
command:
msconvert source.d --mzXML --filter "peakPicking true [2,2]"
There is a bug in msconvert's Reader_Agilent (actually I think it's in 
MHDAC; I'm looking into it now with Agilent) that sometimes will always 
centroid profile data no matter whether it was requested or not. So even 
though the above command doesn't specify to peak pick the MS1s, it may 
do so anyway. If that's the case, let me know and I can get you a fixed 
build with a workaround in place.
