  1. include the annotating/highlighting function to the action bar

    the coming feature of action bar in PDF viewer of Desktop 1.9 alpha is awesome. But you may extend it so that more actions like highlighting can be applied immediately after selection.

  4. Disable the warning, or at least give the option not to display further warnings stating that "You approaching your account limit

    My subscription allows me up to 5 members per group. I have a group with 4 members, and I continue getting a message "You are approaching your account limits. You have only 1 free space left to add members. Please upgrade your account." I do not plan to upgrade my account, and I do not plan to exceed the 5 members per group limit. I suggest that such a message be disabled entirely, or at least to include an option not to display the message again. I am using the Mac client version 1.8.4 on a Mountain Lion,

  6. Improve the Graphical User Interface

    I find the current Graphical User Interface rather outdated. Listing the documents by authors and titles does not entirely help me find the documents I need. It would be interesting to be able to select the documents and get a "sneak preview" instead of having the "Details" tab on the right. In addition, the "read" flag is not in my view very helpful as Mendeley marks the documents as "read" by simply double clicking the file. Please note that simply opening the documents does not necessarily mean that I have read it.

  8. could turn off annotations

    Make it possible to turn off annotations in a document, without discarding them. So that the text more readable again. And when printing from Mendeley Desktop is included, these could also be printed without annotations.

  11. complete retina support

    Although Mendeley now has partial Retina support- many of the icons e.g. the little man beside 'my publications' still look non-retina compliant, which detracts a bit from the program..

  14. Create new folder from selected citations

    This function would allow rapid categorisation of libraries imported from other apps, and of multiple citations imported at the same time from any source.

  16. Make Mendeley store only first letter of the author name

    A way to make Mendeley store only the surname
    followed by the first letter of the name. I.e.
    Pradel, R
    instead of
    Pradel, Roger
    This would save lot of time to keep your library clean if, as in my
    case, you have decided to merge authors apparently diverse like the
    above example to the shortest way (Pradel, R). I have done it manually by revising all my library and merging fake different authors (by dragging long-version author onto the the short-version author name). Nonetheless, now, each time I save a pdf to mendeley desktop (watching folder activated) authors names appear…

  17. Add the option to print a file directly from mendeley without having to open it externally....

    Just add the simple option to print the file directly form mendeley without having to open it externally. Opening 100's of files to print after opening them externally is really tedious. Especially if you are going on field work to a place without electricity and need physical printed papers to continue working in the field...

  18. Mark the scrollbar for highlights

    It could be easier to have marks in the scrollbar for each highlighted sentences, depending on their position in the document, to find them.
