Another necessary hotkey would be to go to the "My Library" tab. As it is now I have to wade through the tens of tabs I have open till I can see the "My LIbrary" tab so I can click on it. At least one major pdf viewer implements this as alt-1, alt-2 alt-3 ... to be able to jump to any of the first 10 tabs.

Very easy fix in the code, but would be the biggest feature change for me in the last 2 point releases. I am only worried that this small idea won't ever get to the developers given that there are over 50,000 other ideas here.

Keep up the good work on Mendeley.

For multiple files per reference, I would like to see the original filename also saved. I have a book with pdfs for each chapter. The Mendeley rename and sync renames each one. This makes me lose track of which chapter is which, and worse is that it is inconsistent. Another situation that this also applies is for proceedings where I have both an abstract and a poster file (not as big of a deal since there are only 2 files). Here is an example of the chapter thing.

chapter12.pdf

was renamed to

Author Year Title(15).pdf

I would like to instead see

Author Year Title - originalFilename.pdf

I found my own solution to the sorting by using bibsort.

Sorry, but I don't feel like opening another feature request among the sea of 4000+ entries. I know that it is easier for you to track features that way, but this system feels broken to me. If one does a bibtex search, to show up it has to have 100+ votes. There is no way to see more bibtex requests without using specific search terms.

How about making the bibtex export / sync consistent. Even if I don't change or add anything, it will reorder the bibtex file. If you use the bibtex file for a document, it is very hard to track changes to it, and it is very annoying.

I like the case sensitive tagging. But I do agree that sub-tags would be very nice.

Why Mendeley is not porting to Android:

I am not a part of mendeley rather just a user, but the following is what I perceive. I think mendeley has been very innovative in reference / pdf managment by bringing most desirable features into one great package. However when considering any single feature, I cannot think of many things where mendeley was first (and even the few I consider 'firsts' are probably arguable). My point is that mendeley is concentrating their efforts on being competitive, hence they built an ipad / iphone app to compete with papers. There are no real competitors yet that have android apps (I was excited by the post below about qiqqa, but it is still very beta). Until we see other article managers provide android apps, mendeley will be quite happy to leave the android apps to the dedicated followers. But when they do see competition in that area, I bet they will be quick to follow.

@Graham - About Referey, I had issues as well with the database setup. I just resorted to copying the sqlite file as db.sqlite on the root of the sdcard. It was easy then. The error you get is independent of the documents settings. Get the database working then worry about documents settings when you want to open a file.

There is an unofficial app already in the android market called Referey. It does not sync or let you change anything, but you can search and view your whole library. You copy the database file and your folder of documents to the phone. You can search and filter based on tags, years, authors, words etc. Takes a minute to setup but worth it.

In one way it is better than the official iphone / ipad app, because you can have your whole library on there you can read any pdf even beyond the 500 MB online limit.
