 # Changelog for mokapot  
 
+## [Unreleased]
+### Fixed
+- Parsing Percolator tab-delimited files with a "DefaultDirection" line.
+- `Label` column is now converted to boolean during PIN file parsing. 
+  Previously, problems occurred if the `Label` column was of dtype `object`.
+
 ## [0.6.0] - 2021-03-03  
 ### Added  
 - Support for parsing PSMs from PepXML input files.

ValueError: No decoy PSMs were detected.
I have loaded a file in the required format (these are the first few lines and the names of the columns). 
```
SpecId | Label | ScanNr | Peptide | Proteins
0 | 1 | 38422 | R.AEGSDVANAVLDGADC[Common Fixed:Carbamidomethy... | P14618
1 | 1 | 41542 | R.SNYLLNTTIAGVEEADVVLLVGTNPR.F | P28331
```
I am getting an error saying that there are no decoy PSMs, however, I know there are decoys. My label column has -1's in it. It loads the file in, but is not getting any further than that. I have looked through the documentation and can't seem to see what I could be missing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Here is the error that I am getting.
