Have the 'My Library tab permanently affixed and visible to the left side of the tab bar. This means that one does not need to scroll back along the tab bar to access the library

When I want to import more metadata via DOI lookup that will overwrite the existing metadata. For example if I have an entry with author Silverstein, Michael, and perform a DOI lookup and for that particular journal there are only the initials in the database then it will overwrite the author field with Silverstein, M. It would be great to have an option to check/correct what would be overwritten beforehand.

We have two Mendeley users at our home using the same Desktop account (different file stores). It would be useful to have a login/logout process for settings/watched folders/Mendeley web etc.

It would be awesome if Mendeley create a summary of the text we highlight throughout a PDF file.... It would save time on typing the notes.

Doing research, sometimes you don't read the full paper, just make a quick overview, and maybe you will get back to read it carefully. It would be useful to mark the read-status

Not only the required field is missing - Mendeley seems not to support the field "note" at all.

there are missing options to decide when and for what to connect (or sync) with the Internet - the user should always have the choice to update, when he/she likes !

Duplicates are generated on shared group folders by dragging the same local entry twice into it.

This could be prevented by simply checking doi etc. against the entries already present there.

I our group this frequently happens as all coworkers are ask to put copies of their papers into a shared folder. Please fix this.

Hotkeys for selecting highlight, add note, select text, etc. don't work when in fullscreen mode. This is when they are most needed. Also, a hotkey should be added to return to pan mode. Removing the ctrl modifier for hotkeys would make them better as well (e.g. pressing "h" to switch to highlight mode, rather than ctrl+h.

Provide a url that can be used to link into mendeley from other applications (eg. evernote/onenote, or GTD managers).

This is useful for keeping data connected between apps

for APA formats at least, need to make the second instance (and all beyond) of same reference in text as FirstAuthor et al YEAR.

When adding a citation to a footnote in Word 2008 for Mac, I've run into a consistent problem when adding a footnote into the document which will precede other already-added footnotes. I have to insert a paragraph return into the footnote before running the script, otherwise the citation is somehow appended to the footnote below it.

Additionally italics are not properly applied in footnotes when using any form of Chicago style - the <i></i> tags remain visible instead of being converted.

Reset the database kept on mendeley's server, from the website and within the medeley desktop. Sometimes the whole thing just gets messed up and u would like to keep all of ur profile data, contacts, etc. just want to refresh ur publication list. Without the possibility of reseting the online database the system always gets the corrupted data from the server.

Often it's useful to filter papers by tag and author, this isn't possible with the current system. If a tag tree is represented in a way similar to windows live photo gallery it would allow the possibility of sub-tags and drag and dropping of papers on to tags which would greatly extend the usefulness of tags.

When I move the file or change its directory name, the program loses track of it and understandably so. However, when I click on the pdf icon in the program it would be nice if it displayed something like the following: "Cannot locate file". Then it could display a window showing the current directory with a browse button to allow user to reestablish the link.

Many scientists are passing around posters from conferences as .pdf documents. Add "Poster" to the Type: section in the right-hand panel.

This would be a convenient feature, because someone is able to just start working where he/she left. Additionally, this saves time.
