Features I want
I just started using Mendeley and I love it. Much better than Papers which I used before.
But there are two features I would like that I can't find.
1. When adding tags in the desktop version (windows) and on the web I would like it to be like the IOS app where you can choose from your list of tags. In the desktop version where this is not possible its hard to remember all your predefined tags.
2. Another good feature would be to see in what folders your articles are, when you have them in different more than one, or when looking at the list of all your articles.
Thanks.

My file icons in my computer folders have a lock icon on them
I recently set Mendeley Desktop to "Organize my files" and changed the default location to a folder on the C: drive.
After Mendeley moved all the files to the new location, when I open the explorer window on my computer (not in Mendeley), most (about 80%) of the PDF icons have a little lock on them. I can still open the PDF files both in Mendeley and directly from my computer, but I worry that I did something wrong. If there is a way to attach a picture, let me know and I can send an image so you can see how it looks.
What does the lock mean? Should I do something different with my settings?
Many thanks for your help.

I can not get details of articles which I added to mendeley
I can not get details of articles which I added to mendeley. Mendeley writes the name of article as the name of file. I named the article author name and date (i.e. Li_2014), Mendeley writes the name of article Li_2014 without any other details. In past I added same articles and I did not have a problem like this. How can I get details of hundreds of articles that I added to Mendeley desktop program without writing every detail one by one by hand?

Mendeley bibtex causing display problem in WinEdt (LaTeX editor)
I am starting to write my PhD thesis (using Mendeley Desktop 1.11) and am having a problem with the exported Mendeley bibtex when used in WinEdt (a latex editor). The problem is that when I go to compile the latex document (using the latex, bibtex, latex, latex method) the citation of some entries does not word-wrap on the latex output pdf (I can post files or screenshots of any of this if needed). I'm posting this issue here because the only entries this seems to occur on are Mendeley entries that I select the entry type as "Thesis" (for referencing former student theses). If I change the entry in Mendeley to "Journal Article" or "Generic" and re-export/recompile the Latex, then the bibliography outputs correctly. Is there any reason why the "Thesis" type would export to the bibtex differently and cause this error? Thanks!

iPad highlight viewing
I open my Mendeley files externally in Adobe so that I can highlight in different colors. My iPad app, even when definitely synced, doesn't show any highlights from the original file. Any thoughts on how I can see those highlights on iPad? All highlights in various colors are visible from the desktop app. If this isn't currently a feature, will it ever be? Moderately useless to not be able to see highlights while on the iPad... Do they have to be Mendeley highlights to see instead of Adobe? Will Mendeley ever add multicolor highlights?

Thank you

Needs Review
Is there a way to make it so *every* uploaded file requires me to review it? Generally when I upload a file, it'll get added to the "Needs Review" folder, but quite often Mendeley will add the data itself and decide it doesn't need me to review it and *not* add the entry to the "Needs Review" folder.
The function that automatically fills out the bibliographic information is far from perfect, and it'd be nice if I only had to search within the "Needs Review" folder to make any corrections, instead of having to search for the files Mendeley got wrong but was confident about.

Hi!
I have Mendeley Desktop in use and I also set up Mendeley Web. Unfortunately for some reason they will not synchronise (even after synchronising in Desktop), the Web still shows only 2 articles I imported into it manually. What should I do?

Cross-references and Captions do not update when Mendeley fields are included - MS Word 2013
Hello all.
I saw that someone else had the same problem (http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/756686-update-fields-in-word-2-1-not-updatable-following-mendely-link-input) but I did not find the solution to that.
So a quick summary. I insert the citations and references with Mendeley. Captions in figures and tables as well as the cross-references to them are made with Word's built in system. However, when I press ctrl+A to select everything and F9 to update the captions and cross-references, the update does not do anything. When I select lines that do not include Mendeley fields (for the citations) then the update of the captions and cross-references works fine.
However, going line by line to update a 500 page long document, is not a viable solution.
Does anyone know any rational solution to this problem?
Thanks for your help.

Storing pdfs outside of Mendeley
Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I am currently using Mendeley desktop on my PC. I am aware that Mendeley can store pdfs for searching and annotating, however, I do not wish to store my pdfs in the actual program as many users do because space on my PC is limited. I'd like to circumvent that program by storing all pdfs on my external hard drive and then have Mendeley pull from my external drive for the pdf while using the software.
Is this possible to do and, if so, how might I go about it.
Many thanks,
Ottawa
