  1. Implementing more convenient functions would make it better!!!

    I like the idea of managing all the papers in a platform, but it'd be more convenient if a subdirectory is allowed in the mendeley desktop.

  3. Suspected bug in "Organize my files"

    Every now and then I encounter this problem:
    1. I reapply "Organise my files" so that the file names are up-to-date.
    2. Then a while later I find a couple (just a few out of my 7000+ library) gone wrong.
    3. There would be 2 entries linking to the same file, such that, Entry A is linked to File B, Entry B also linked File B, but there is not entry linked to File A.
    4. I can apply "Watched folders" to solve this problem, but then this would create a lot of duplicate entries, which is undesirable either.

  4. fix mendeley changing citations mixed up

    Mendeley is great, However very frequenlty it keeps changing my citations in the document making it useless for me
    Who would want to go and check whether references are the right ones in a file that has more that 100 references?

  8. File Synchronization

    Provide an option to set a file size limit or mark files for synronization or mark ones not to sychronize.

  9. Incorrect sorting of Author name in capitals

    When two citations start with the same author and one of them is fully written in capitals (e.g. BRADY and Brady), they will copy in incorrect order into the word processor. E.g. In Mendeley I have: Beverland... , BRADY... , Brady... When I now copy this to Word I see BRADY..., Beverland..., Brady.... Obviously I could change this manually.

  10. lingoes

    Can I use lingoes, the desktop dictionary with tool-tip function, with Mendeley? I think the two programs are incompatible. If it is possible, as I think, it will be more useful for many users. Please solve our problem,

  11. silent install

    Could you please include a silent and unattended install option. Mendeley cannot be installed on our student machines without one.

  19. mac: make watch folders on other Volumes (for example external disk) possible

    Watch folders in Mendeley on the mac currently only allows watching folders on the main Volume. I think it is really overdue to make watch folders on other Volumes like an external disk or whatever mounted volume there is possible.
