Hello Sascha, can you file that as a separate idea please, just so I know what I'm marking as completed when I change the status of a thread.

Please make it possible that if a "duplicate candidate" is checked as not a duplicate, the system will remember this decision.

I love this feature! Is there a way to "Batch merge", as opposed to merging each set of duplicates individually, if there are multiple instances of duplicating? Thanks.

I added a new ticket for duplicates on shared folders, as this bug is still open :-(

Hello - This thread combines a number of different issues. What we have implemented in Mendeley Desktop 1.0 is a tool to search through your library and find/merge duplicates. To use it, go to Tools -> Check for Duplicates.
I am marking this thread as completed now. Please open a new threads for any suggestions you have for improvements to the feature or unrelated duplicate document issues.

Hello Andres,
The development version* has this feature, the stable version does not. A new stable version with this feature will be out very shortly.

So is not clear to me. Does Mendeley have that feature currently or not?
Is a pain to have to export a bibtex to jabref, check for duplicates and import it back to mendeley!!! -
