I don't know exactly how this should work, but this would be awesome. Think
- sync annotations
- have things both in Evernote and Mendeley
- sync and relate excerpts

Different people care about different types of documents. Instead of trying to add every possible type centrally, it would be useful if users could add new document types and rename / delete existing ones.

When closing Mendeley, have the option to remember the current open PDF documents and also the scroll position you're currently at within the PDF. Similar to what Firefox does with open tabs and what PDF viewers when re-opening a PDF doc.

Species names must be italicized yet no character formatting is allowed when manually editing the metadata. This request is especially important for the Title and Keyword fields. When exporting the citation, the italic formatting should be maintained.

Mendeley only allows PDF files with DOI info. Why not make it also into an ebook organizer and file renamer based on ISBN info (either read form file name, or from document

Make a pen tool for drawing free-hand annotations in the built-in pdf reader. Or at least make tools for making circles and arrows. I love drawing on my pdfs!

currently many mendeley types are "translated" into @misc while many bibtex types do not exist (e.g. incollection). Please, insert a function to manually associate mendeley types to bibtex types or any function to better manage the typology of the exported bibtex.

Or to a new section so I will have a possibility to take a look at all highlights in one place

While I don't expect a full LaTeX parser, bibtex import could and should be improved. At the moment, I have many entries in Mendeley with stuff like that:

Title: {\"U}ber M{\"a}rchen -- Tolkiens Sicht des Phantastischen

Mendeley should recognize this kind of encoded umlauts and typical LaTeX stuff like -- for long dashes.

Create "smart" categories (like Papers software, on MacOS) that would search (with logical operators) for keywords within (selectable) author, title, abstract fields and automatically populate the categories with found articles, without manual intervention. Smart Categories cannot be populated manually and they can coexists with normal categories.

I am using the 0.9.4.1. I found the annotations were unsearchable. It would be very nice if we can search the annotations we made.

It would be great if Mendeley worked with Scrivener for writing large bodies of work, like books, dissertations etc. I'm about to start a Ph.D. and thinking I will have to stop using Mendeley and export all my references to a referencing system that is compatible.

Find a way to insert citations and automatically generate bibliographies (just like with the Word Plugin) in Google Docs.

I would find very useful if it was possible to specify a schema according to which Mendeley should generate BibTex keys. For example

[author][1]:[journal]:[year]:[title][5]

(the first author and the first five words of the title). Right now I generate my keys with JabRef, it would be nice to do it directly in Mendeley.

Mendeley should have typical view and navigation features of regular PDF viewers, like:

1) view - zoom - fit to page
- fit width
- fit height
- fit visible
2) navigation:
- go to page number (I can't believe Mendeley can't jump to page numbers, I have scroll through the whole document! Or am I missing something?)
- go to next / previous / first / last page option as buttons in Mendeley's toolbar
- scroll down the page by hitting space bar.

In other words: Mendeley's PDF browser should have all view/navigation features of Adobe Reader.

Link related papers e.g. response to a paper, or a comment on an important trial can be linked to the main paper. It would be useful to have this information analyzed by the Mendeley servers, if enough users link related papers, and then other uses may be prompted that a certain paper is related to another one(s).

When I'm at a computer without Mendeley Desktop installed, I would like to be able to add a reference/document by uploading the PDF to the website. Currently, the 'Add Document' button on the website only allows for manually adding the reference info. Pressing 'Add Document' should also bring up a Browse button that allows you to locate and upload a document from your computer to the web.

It would be very handy if Mendeley would offer more user-control to the automatic import via watch-folders.

For instance, it should be possible to specify that all documents that are imported from a specified watch-folder are automatically put into a collection. This makes it easier to find them later (otherwise they will disappear in the large database).
