Impossible to import GCMS file (Hard Ionisation) [MSDial 5.1.230222]

Dear developer,

Thanks for your great tool :)
I would like to use the last version (5.1.230222), for change my old v3.12.

Problem : i cant change the ionization type at "Hard ionization (GC/MS)".
My file come from Agilent equipment, and translate in ABF.

How i can change my option ?
Thanks for your help,

regards

Hey all,

I have the same/similar problem that I cannot select the 'hard ionisation' for GC-MS.
I have data in from a GC-quadrupole QToF (Agilent Technologies) machine. The data was in the .D format and I converted it to .abf with the Reifycs file converter (default conversion settings).
I tried the MS-Dial version 5.1.230222 as well.

Should I have changed something in the conversion settings? Or change something in MS-Dial?

Thanks for the help!

I was just told by someone, that the newest version of Ms-Dial doesn't have the 'hard ionisation' option yet. So, you need to use the older version (4.9.221218; still available for download on the website). And indeed, it works now for me.
Cheers,
