Jagan,

Hopefully searches run as in steps 1 through 4 have no issues with
visualizing the spectra.

Regarding points 6 and 7, I can't tell you definitely why there's a
difference in scan counts without knowing specifics of how the MGF was
created.  If I had to guess, one thing that accounts for the scan count
differences is that the mzXML contains both MS1 and MS/MS scans whereas the
MGF file only has MS/MS scans in it.  Likely that MGF contains just a subset
of all MS/MS scans from the raw file due to not meeting some criteria.  Both
of these reasons and many others could easily explain the scan count
differences.  For a definitive explanation of why maybe the MS/MS counts
don't match up, you need to go back to the tool that generated the MGF to
figure out what it did.  I didn't bother downloading your raw file but
you'll hopefully find that it has the same number of total scans as the
mzXML does (unless you have empty scans in the raw file).

Regarding what you did in step 5, the mzXML created from the mgf starts with
scan number 0 which is a tad unorthodox as 1 is the required first scan for
a valid mzXML.  But that's not necessarily the reason why you can't
visualize spectra from this step 5 workflow.  As I stated in the previous
post, this mgf *must* contain the right information encoded in the TITLE
line that the TPP expects.  The first spectrum that got translated to scan 0
in the mzXML must have a TITLE like that conforms to something like
TITLE=<basename>.0.0.<charge> and the second spectrum that got translated to
scan 1 in the mzXML must have a TITLE line that appears as
TITLE=<basename>.1.1.<charge>.  You can pad the scan numbers if you wish
like MzXML2Search does:  <basename>.00001.00001.<charge>.  And this TITLE
information should exist in the mgf before you do the search.
