Reading of files and Averaging with result of ZERO MS-Peaks should raise an error message during import.

See example:

Importing: F:\LipidXplorer-1.2.8\191105_Geko\Chol_ES_Geko\190820_Batch190627_Chol_Best\190820_39265_a.mzML

Nb. of MS scans............... 18 Nb. of MS peaks............... 215 Nb. of MS/MS scans............ 36 Nb. of MS/MS peaks............ 950 Nb. of MS peaks (after avg.).. 0 Spray stability: MaxTIC - MinTIC:............ 174.42% of median

That leads in the end to an error like this before alignment of sample:
