Same problem here with the endless completion of tasks. Right now I've cancelled, resulting in it perpetually saying it's cancelling, having completed 5410 of 5415 tasks. Meanwhile the computer is slowing to a crawl. I've read it may have to do with the sorting feature, which is one of the main reasons I have this program, but it seems to be more a problem than a feature at this rate. Is there no way to implement it without driving Mendeley into a sisyphean task list? I'm using version 1.11 on Mac OS 10.9.3.
And every time I start this, it retrieves documents, sends document changes, and downloads files etc. for about eternity, during which time everything else on my computer is slowed. When it is finally done, I still can't rest easy-- it'll only be a matter of time before it stalls again. Case in point, restarting this time worked, but when I told Mendeley to watch a certain folder for new PDFs, it has again frozen, this time completing just 1 of 318 tasks.

Buggy auto-complete
Auto-complete is buggy/annoying. When updating the details on a document (e.g. Journal name), auto-complete will start making suggestions based on what you have typed so far. If you pause for 2-3 seconds, what you have typed now becomes a suggestion. This either shifts down all of the normal suggestions to make room for this new one, or eliminates all of them and only shows you this. For example, I am typing in "Journal of physical chemistry" and I manage to get in "Jou" typed up and before you know it, my only auto-complete suggestion is now "Jou". And most annoying of all, those 2-3 seconds are still ticking away while you are scrolling down to click on an auto-complete suggestion. If you hit Enter on an entry that you want, chances are that list is going to update right as you're hitting Enter and your entry is something you didn't want at all.

Can I use Mendeley without installing the software?
I am currently using Zotero for archiving my literature, but I really like it about Mendeley that it has the option to mark text in documents, which are synchronized. For working at different computers, this is ideal to have all literature available easily everywhere.
However, I'm often working at the computers of my university, where I'm not aloud to install the Mendeley software. Here I can use Zotero because they've provided a Firefox plugin, which I can install. So maybe this is an idea to develop for you too. If I'm able to use Mendeley at my university, either on the webpage or by a Firefox plugin, I would use it instead of Zotero.
I hope to hear how you think about this idea.

plos-one citation style wouldn't work
Hello,
I have started using Mendeley recently and downloaded plos-one style from the download link http://csl.mendeley.com/styles/18587981/plos
However, it doesnt seem to be working since the citations appear as APA 6th version. Any ideas why? I am using Mendeley 1.11 and Ubuntu 12.04.
Thank you very much!

new computer
Hello,
I need to transfer my data to a new computer. However, I need to maintain the same folder structure for my pdfs. I have all pdfs of my old computer nested in folders and subfolders and need to maintain this organization on the new computer.
I have copied my database from one pc to the other as described:
http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/articles/227942-how-can-i-migrate-my-data-from-one-pc-to-another
http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/787262-migrate-mendeley-database-from-one-computer-to-another-but-not-using-web-account
I then copied the folder (with all the subfolders) containing my pdfs to my new pc. I then tried importing all the pdfs by "adding folder". Many links are re-established, but there are also many that are not. Some of the pdfs are also imported as new entries.

Endnote compatibilty?
Hi,
I have been using Endnote 5 with Word 2010. I am on a Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
I have a file from a colleague who has been using Mendeley. The software looks very nice. I have installed Mendeley and the plugin into Word. However, only the Endnote plugin still appears in Word.
Must I uninstall Endnote in order to use Mendeley?
If so, will I still be able to format other documents that were previously formatted with Endnote?
thank you,

Highlights and annotations lost
Hello,
I'm using your programme to write my paper for my 5th year of medicin. I already read a lot of articles on my subject via your programme, and I also did some highlighting and some annotations.
Now there's a problem, cause I still have my articles in my library but all my highlights and annotations are gone. Could you help me restoring my library?? Cause I've put a lot of work in it and it would be a disaster if I lost all of my hightlights and annotations.
Thanks in advance,
