to Vagisha, me, Skyline

It could also be truly huge in the case of large HRMS experiments. For Panorama, I am not sure it wouldn’t be better to allow the option to upload the raw data outside the .sky.zip file. We also already have something of a problem with duplicating large amounts of unchanging bytes in our .sky.zip files from libraries to an unchanging .skyd file.

For support, it often seems to me that we need just one data file. Maybe we should have a menu command to upload to support and have a bit more latitude on that to add raw data. That to me seems like the best way to lower the support cost of getting people to post what you need to files.url. It could even support pointing at a set of files you are trying to build into a spectral library and zipping every this necessary, since we often spend time explaining we need mzXML and not just the pepXML, and mqpar.xml, etc.

Sounds like a good intern project.

This would be great, I think. Some users are confused about why they have to upload raw data in addition to the Skyline documents for Panorama Public, especially since they can see the chromatograms in Panorama with just the Skyline document. It would break some of our Panorama code which expects all the raw data to be in a specific location but it definitely would make it easier for the user.

Thanks,

It would simplify a lot of support issues where we have to ask twice. Users seem to intuitively expect it to already work that way.
