Hello!
Since the update to version 1.9 (Mac) I get this error message whenever I try to insert a citation into Word 2011: Problem formatting citation #0
JavaScript error found: CSL error: Exception: TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object, 554, file:///Applications/Mendeley%20Desktop.app/Contents/Resources/citeproc-js/citeproc.js
The update to version 1.9.1 did not help either. It is still not possible to insert a citation.
Could this have something to do with the fact that I had changed the language I cite in from English to German? Everything (including citing in German) worked fine until the update.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Thanks, Linda

Watched folder and PDF modification
Hi everyone.
I have Mendeley watching a folder in which I have all my PDF articles. I usually annotate (e.g. highlight) my PDF using Adobe Reader. However, when I save the annotated PDF, Mendeley detects a new file in the folder and duplicates the previous entry.
I know this is something "normal" since saving the file will change its properties (e.g. size), but I was wondering if there was a workaround for this situation?
With regards,
Phil

Unicode in author not translated to Bibtex
Entering the author "Svenøe" produces a BibTex record "Sven\o e" with an extra space.
This does *not* happen for other cases: eg. Syrjäsuo to Syrj\"{a}suo is fine.
(Note: your text entry widget says "Invalid characters found" if I try to use hyphen+gt as an ascii arrow. Strange.)

Bug report: some PDFs fail to render after update to 1.9.1
After updating, some full book PDFs in my Mendeley Library would no longer render. At first, I assumed it was just that several second delay in rendering (as their often is in Mendeley), but in fact I was left permanently looking at white page after white page - no content rendered whatsoever.
Note, however, that my annotations and highlights were visible in these documents AND it was possible to select and copy and paste text from the book itself, even though it wasn't visible in Mendeley!
This problem arose for several recently added full book PDFs, which worked fine in 1.8.4 previously (and worked again after I rolled back to 1.8.4, as I eventually had to do). (Sadly, I wasted about two hours of comps reading time trying to deal with this! Though I'm grateful the roll-back was as simple as running the 1.8.4 installer - no re-downloading, etc.)
For further clarity, note that under 1.9.1, the problem described above had persisted after restarting the program, the OS, and after fully deleting and removing these books from my library and re-loading them. Only rolling back to the previous version helped.

After updating the Mendeley Desktop to the latest version 1.9.1, Lose files
I select "Rename Document files ",and the file name is "Journal+Title+Author+Year".
After updating the Mendeley Desktop to the latest version 1.9.1, i find that there is a limit to the length of the name of files, The overflow will be cut off. thus, i can't get the correct name corresponding to the former name rules.
Furthermore, some files will be lost in the Details, Files.

In Microsoft word references are not sorted by name
Hi,
I have created a new word document where I pasted some text that included Mendeley references. When I used the refresh button in the Mendeley cite-o-matic part of the ribbon the bibliography was inserted, however, the names of the authros failed to sort alphabetically using the Springer format. I tried changing to other formats (e.g. ieee) but the problem remains. What can I do?
The problem started after I upgraded to the latest version but I do not know if the latest version is to blame or the fact that I pasted parts of the text...
Thank you

Export a subset of references to Endnote
Hello,
I understand how to export references. My question is how do I have Mendeley select all those references that I have used in a given manuscript and export only those?
Thanks,

Sync - details missing
I recently installed mendeley both on my work and personal pc. I edited all the deatils of all pdf files in one of the mendeley desktops and afterwards I synced it to the web-mendeley. I just tried syncing from my work computer to get all my files (that worked) but a lot of the details are messed up again (no titles, no authors, no journals, strange file names). As it's over 500 files, I don't feel like fixing it by looking up all the pubmed IDs again (I spend all of last night doing that). Is there another way to fix this?

LibreOffice Writer Hangs or Crashes when inserting references.
I have tried this in both Ubuntu 13.04 and Windows 7 with LibreOffice 4.04 and Mendeley 1.91.
Inserting citations has started hanging or outright crashing LibreOffice when I add them to the beginning of the document.
I added about 30 references to the end of the document without issue but now I am working on referencing the beginning of the document.
When I do this the reference appears to be added, the {format citation} appears and is replaced with a super-script numeral. At this point LibreOffice stops responding and slows everything down on my computer (Ubuntu) or outright crashes (Windows 7).
Adding references to the end of the document is still working fine. Any suggestions? I will need to add perhaps a hundred more citations to the beginning of the document.

Mendeley Suggest - More papers required
I upgraded my Mendeley to make use of the suggest tool, but when i got to use it, it says:
You don't have enough papers
In order for Mendeley Suggest to work effectively, your library needs to contain at least 20 published articles that are relevant to your interests.
but I have over 200 published papers in my library that are all related so I don't see how this is the case?

final size of Word document
I am new to Mendeley, I have just written a paper and inserted the citations. There are 104 items in my bibliography. I have 2 questions:
1) Ss I've read from other users, once there are a few in-text citations, it is taking a very long time to insert or edit a new citation (over 2 minutes each). This is not very practical for academic papers -- any suggestions?
2) My 24-page Word paper is at 25MB with the citations and bibliography inserted. How can I decrease this file size so it more email-friendly?
Thanks

adding pdf files
Hello,
I didn't have this problem with previous versions, but after I recently upgraded it, I've been having this problem.
When I drag the pdf files(journal articles) to the Mendeley box,the name of the pdf file just appears in the title section, and authors, year, published in sections remain empty.
This means Details sections remain totally empty.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you,

Unable to update to version 1.9.1 for mac
Hi, firstly, thanks for a fantastic research tool. I am trying to update to the latest desktop version 1.9.1. for a mac but receive an error message. When I click on update, the file downloads (13MB) but then the update terminates with the error message that the updater has failed to launch (details below).
-- 2013-07-18 07:56:24.036 UpdateDownloader::runUpdaterPlatformSpecific: Failed to launch first-stage updater
Any ideas please?
Alternatively, if it is necessary to download the new version in full and install this (rather than use the updater), if the new version overwrites the old application folder, will this cause an issue with my library database or pdf folder?
Thanks
Matt

Messy text citation and no bibliography list
Hi, I'm currently using Mendeley 1.8.4 in my Mac OSX 10.08.4. Everything was running good until recently, but now after selected a new Journal Style with WordPlugin and refresh it several references cited along the text gave place to the contents of the abstract files of the cited references. At the same time, Mendeley is not listing my citations after I press "insert bibliography". What appears is {ADDIN Mendeley Bibliography CSL_BIBLIOGRAPGY}, but nothing happend! I re-stalled Mendeley and word plugin as well, but nothing change! I would appreciate any tip to solve this problem ASAP!
Cheers,
Pedr

Mendeley messes sorting when copy/pasting
I've sorted my publications by descending order of year. I've copied the lot to clipboard and, when I paste it in a text document, Mendeley has sorted the listing alphabetically by first author instead of keeping my original sort by date. How can I solve this?

Reference list is incorrect
My paper is done in APA 6th edition. The reference list does not record the title of the journal article properly. It has each word capitalized when in fact, only the first word should be capitalized. If there is no fix...I will need to go back into over 80 references and re-do the journal tile!
I followed a previous post to go into the CSL editor and changing it to uppercase for first word. I also remembered to change it in my Word doc. It still won't produce a proper reference page. PLEASE tell me there is a fix!
