right now i have to delete and then recreate a group if i make it public/view-only and then want to change its settings.

Mendeley is great~ However, when I am highlighting some words or sentences, sometimes, words far below are highlighted. I am mostly reading scientific articles.

Nokia N900 is a powerful smartphone based on Maemo Linux. Maemo applications are very similar to Linux desktop applications, they use GTK, etc. so to make a new interface for the N900 should not be very difficult, based on the already existing linux client. Applications for Maemo should also work in the future on MeeGo, the union of Maemo and Moblin (supported by Intel and Nokia).

Some areas in a pdf cannot be highlighted. Either nothing is highlighted, or a region some lines below or in a nearby figure are highlighted instead.

This bug has been mentioned here before, but it was marked as "fixed" which it is definitely not! So please give this a vote if you have the same problem.

I'm using 0.9.8.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.5.

Users who have all their Zotero-data in sub-folders find that Mendeley merges all subfolders when syncronising. That destroys much work for any Zotero user with a large library who wishes to switch to Mendeley.

This would allow many university departments that don't allow staff admin rights to their PCs, access to Mendeley and Mendeley updates.

An option to initiate spell check in the documents to ensure that your entries are correct.
This will help when you are also searching within notes.

Watched folders is a great idea - however when Mendeley crashed, restarting it automatically removed the Watch Folders links. On trying to recreate the Watched Folders, Mendeley appeared to start adding all my pdfs again - I cancelled rather than get 900 pdfs duplicated, so don't know how this worked out in the end...

Lots of patents are only available in scanned format, requiring manual data entry.

I'm mostly interested in US patent sites:
http://patft.uspto.gov/ <OR>
http://www.google.com/patents

But others might want international sites:
http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/
http://ep.espacenet.com/

It would be very helpful to have a tooltip showing the details of a reference while hovering over it in the PDF (e.g., hovering over "[1]" in the text shows a tooltip with author, paper title, etc.). It would no longer be necessary to scroll down to the reference section to look up the corresponding reference.

There needs to be a way to read a PDF in Mendeley without the mouse. Usually this is done with Page Up and Page Down. However, in Mendeley's PDF viewer, these keys move to the top of the next or previous page. Instead it should behave like all reasonable Page Up/Down implementations and scroll by how much is viewable on the screen.

In another words, it should be possible to read the entire document just by hitting page down. If this is a problem, use Space for Page Down and Shift + Space for Page Up to mimic web browsing.

A lot of research projects or paper start of as a brainstorming diagram. It would be useful, especially for those of us who learn more visually, to have an application where papers can be organized into a sort of mind map. A useful extension of this would be to allow the mind map to be shared and edited by others.

it would be nice if you could improve the "Manually add entry"-feature with a bibtex-parser, so Bibtex could be imported over clipboard and not only with a bibtex-file.

At the moment, when syncing from citeUlike, documents with that come in, that have a DOI that matches a document already in my Mendeley library, get duplicated. It should be very straightforward to spot the DOI duplication and merge the info: at least, to import any tags and notes, and ask the user about any other inconsistencies

The "edition" field seems to cut off any string that is longer than 10 characters. Please fix.

Unlike zotero, Mendeley is not able to localize CSL-terms that are used within the citations as well as the bibliography and aim to support multi-language-CSLs.

Terms like editors, pages (pp.) etc. are displayed in english if the citation style uses text terms. The only workaround to date is to edit the csl and hard-code the right terms for your native language (e.g. in german "S. " instead of "pp. " or "Hrsg.: " for "eds.") - making it only usable for one language.

This is related to a post below on BibTeX import, but regarding BibTeX export. If, say, an author's name has diacritics (like, eg., Ştefănescu), Mendeley does not export these correctly -- the relevant characters come out as gibberish, rather than \c{S} and \u{a} (accented characters, eg., á, come out correctly, ie., \'{a}). The only way round this problem is to turn off escaping of LaTeX characters, and make sure everything is already escaped in Mendeley, which looks awful and is sort-of self-defeating. Importing messes up LaTeX-encoded entries, so everything has to be corrected by hand. Please fix this!

I just installed Mendeley desktop and it looks wonderfully promising but entirely useless to me while the plugin for MS Word 2008 Mac is not functional.
