CAMERA / possible bug in findIsotopes?
I may have got it a bit wrong, but annotation of isotopes using the "findIsotopes" or "annotate" functions, doesn't seem to consider the basic intensity rule stated in the CAMERA publication. To illustrate, I have run annotations of a standard chemical compound injected in our lab, m/z=206.0943, with a coeluting Sodium adduct at 229.0829 Da. The CAMERA package seem to relate it's peak to a co eluting peak with lower mass and lower intensity and annotates it as the 3rd isotope of that peak (see below). In addition, is doesn't tag it as an adduct at all (probably because the isotope annotation is preceding it).

310 231.09079 2298.066 558.35965 [17][M+4]+
Note that the Sodium adduct at 229.08299 is annotated as an isotope of a lower intensity signal, and not as an adduct... This is reproduced with several mass accuracy settings... Can anyone comment on that?
Cheers,
