fix the bug causing Mendeley to crash on startup - QSharedPointer: pointer 0x188f3b0 already has reference counting
Mendeley 1.1.3 crashes for me on startup.
I am pretty sure it used to work before, so maybe it was cause by my KDE (and consequently Qt) update. Qt version is 4.7.90.
The error message is:

Fedora 16, QT 4.8 and SSL
Like the similar previous problem with Ubuntu 11.10: http://feedback.mendeley.com/forums/4941-mendeley-feedback/suggestions/2271445-ubuntu-11-10-qt-4-7-and-ssl?ref=title
Fedora 16 ships with Qt 4.8.0, and this is not picked up by Mendeley (doing 'ldd' on libMendeley.so reveals that of the system Qt libraries, all are recognized except for libQtWebKit.so.4, even though it's present); reverting to the bundled Qt 4.6 requires having my own copy of openssl 0.9.8 since the system ships OpenSSL 1.0

Use Mendeley Desktop 1.3 with the —force-bundled-qt command-line argument on Fedora 16.

Bug: Mendeley Desktop, Ubuntu 11.10, No internet connection detected - SSL problems?
I installed Mendeley Desktop (1.3) on Ubuntu 11.10 (32bit). When I start Mendeley, it just tells me "To join Mendeley, please connect to the internet", while the internet connection is there all the time.
What I tried so far (after reading through this forum):
- installed libqt4-webkit and libqt4-svg. No change.
- installed libssl0.9.8. No change.
- tried both mendeleydesktop --force-system-qt and mendeleydesktop --force-bundled-qt. Neither worked.Here's the log from the "Test internet connection" button in the debug dialog (ctrl-shift-d):

little problem when syncing
I've recently been getting this message when syncing:
There was a problem processing your request -- A report has been filed by the server.
What's up with that?
Love the program, and have recommended it already to many..

Fix HTTP proxy authentication that is broken in version 1.1.2
The proxy authentication after upgrade to 1.1.2 seems to be broken. This is of course a bigger problem since now it is not possible to upgrade behind a proxy to the (hopefully) fixed version.

Add a "wishlist" function to highlight/list papers you want to read from a parental paper
When users read a paper, they may want to read a few of the papers referenced in that paper afterwards, but maybe not straight away.
It might be useful to be able to mark those up in a sort of "whishlist" as in Amazon or Librarything.6 votes -
Add a search option "Filter by Authors" window. Possibly other filters.
This would allow you to narrow the filter by entering the first 2 or 3 letters of the author of interest. It would be much cleaner than the author search from the main search window, while still having both methods available for those with personal preferences of how they search by author. Some kind of advanced option would be great here.

Back button while reading pdf
When I am reading a internally linked PDF (for example, a citation linked to the corresponding reference) I need a back button. This will allow me to click on citation take a look at the reference and the go back to the sentence I was reading.

Can't open recent PDFs in PDF viewer
I can't open any PDF files of the entries I made on Oct 20, 2011 or later in the internal or external PDF viewer. Opening the containing folder works fine, and for any older entries, it works, too (I don't have any new entries from Oct 5 to Oct 19).
Maybe I updated Mendeley around that time, but didn't notice early enough.Backup+restore doesn't help.
If I remove a PDF from an older entry and add it again, the viewer still works, so it seems to depend only on the date of the entry, not on when I added the… more3 votes -
Scrivener plugin
Scrivener is now available on Windows as well as OS X and it is a killer program that has great popularity in the academy.
The couple Scrivener+Mendeley would be a total blow to Word+EndNote

add back button to pdf viewer
when following links in pdf's (like links to the references) it would be great if one could jump back to the original position. Just like the "back to last view" button does in other pdf viewers.

Installation on Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit)
To make Mendeley work on Ubuntu 11.10, I had to manually install libssl0.9.8. With only the default version installed (libssl1.0.0) I could never get past the "Mendeley can't connect to the internet" screen

Mendeley has been updated for iOS 5 (this includes all iPhone 4S devices). More fixes are on the way.

Add an option to use (1) the PMID and (2) a link to a Webcite page in the bibliography.
I'm currently writing a paper that requires both variables in the bibliography, and I can't seem to edit the csl enough to get them out. According to the CSL language specification, there is no variable for PMID although there is a field for it in Mendeley (just below DOI, which you *can* call in the CSL...)

allow the citation of undergraduate or masters theses
Right now, if something is flagged as a "thesis" type reference, mendeley automatically assumes PhD thesis. Build in some flexibility on this.
