What kind of thresholding do you do? Enabling that in msconvert is 
overdue - the backend code to support it is already in place.

MzXML2Search is failing because it depends on a strict DTA name scheme 
with 5 digits. This is going to break with long LTQ Velos runs so it 
needs to be fixed regardless of the Agilent scanId issue. It's ironic 
that a Thermo file is the one to break the Thermo-centric assumptions. :P
