Search by title when reviewing papers
Whenever I go into review an article, the "Search by title" automatically starts searching on Google scholar(i.e. the rotating wheel appears suggesting that it is searching). Since often times the title is not the correct one, I have to retype it and the search by title function starts working. Is there some setting I can click on to stop it from automatically searching or is this just a bug in the system? It was working just fine a while ago. Thanks

slider to scroll down does not stay at same position when switching among tabs
I am using Mendeley Desktop 1.9.1 on Mac.
When I move betweens tabs (open PDFs) in Mendeley or between the Mendeley windows and other windows (web browser, etc), the slider to scroll down in the tab where the pdf is open does not stay at the same position. The slider always goes to around 2/3 of the document. Especially for long documents, it is quite annoying not to be able to go back to the same page...
So for example, I have a tab1 with a pdf1 open and a tab1 with pdf2. If I go to tab1, and put the slider to a specific position, go to tab2, move the slider to a specific position, and come back to tab1, the slider will be at 2/3 of the document, not at the position where I left it.
Would it be possible to fix that for the next update ?

How to cite a website and searching for a paper.
Hi there,
I am new to Mendeley. I've heard so much about it, so I decided to use it for a recent paper we're reviewing. So, I installed mendeley desktop and downloaded the plugin for the word. It seems to work fine with a couple of telling issues:
1. In the literature search, even when I type in the exact title from the pubmed, it sometimes doesn't list that paper but gives results of hundreds of similar paper. This has sometimes made the life really difficult.
2. More importantly, how do I cite a website. for e.g. NCI's clinical trials page?
I would really appreciate your help.

Microsoft Word Plugin Problem
If I want to insert a citation into my existing thesis-file (which I started some time ago), I always get the following error message:
------
Mendeley Word Plugin Problem
Diese Eigenschaft ist für dieses Objekt nicht verfügbar. ( 5891) in Microsoft Word
For more help, please visit http://support.mendeley.com
------
I found some other posts, but none of them offered a solution. Can you please help me?
I am using:
- MS Office for Mac 2011 Version 14.3.6
- Mendeley Desktop Mac Version 1.9.2
- Mendeley MS Word Plugin (installed via Mendely toolbar)
(neither EndNote, Zotero nor any other referencing tools or even Word-plugins are installed)

keywords and mendeley-tags fields ignored when importing bibtex files
I'm trying to import several bibtex files into Mendeley. These files include the fields: mendeley-tags and keywords. These two fields are randomly ignored - sometimes Mendeley imports the keywords field (as Mendeley's Author Keywords) and sometimes Mendeley imports the mendeley-tags field (as Mendeley's Tags), but a majority of the time it ignores both of these fields.
I thought some sort of cache issue may explain this because sometimes the "Added" time would be hours in the past. However, after completely deleting the files (which is remarkably difficult) and clearing the cache, the issue was still present. (Despite the "Added" time being correct.)
I understand that I can manually enter Tags using Mendeley's desktop interface, but am not willing to do so with several hundred references.
Any ideas about this behavior?

actualization of the program without being logged-in
I do not have administration rights to my computer. All updates are done centrally by computer guys of our institution. How they can update version of Mendeley Desktop on my computer without being logged - in the Mendeley system? They do not have an account by Mendeley, they do not need it for their work.

Loading forever
My Mendeley Desktop doesn't stop loading. There is a little grey wheel turning and turning non-stop. When I try to save websites to Mendeley they don't appear on my Mendeley Desktop, even though I've succesfully saved them with the Online Mendeley tool. I tried to restart Mendeley several times, but no luck.
Cheers for your help

Error highlighting multiple files within single journal article record
I have a journal article with two PDF files attached: one is the article itself, the second is supplementary information. When I highlight one file, for some reason the highlight also shows up in the second file (and vice versa). I'm guessing the highlight boxes/text are stored as a part of the record and that's what's generating the error. Can this be fixed/updated?

update to 1.9.2 is messing with MS word
I just updated to 1.9.2 and now when I open MS word all kind of stuff is messed up. For instance, I get '{PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT}' at the top of my pages where a page number would normally go, I get '{HYPERLINK}' where an email address or webpage would be, and many of my formerly inserted references don't format correctly. Is there a quick fix for this, or can I install the previous mendeley version without losing all my references?
Thanks.

How to preview a citation
Dear All,
I wanted to simply copy-paste a citation from Mendeley Desktop, but found no easy way to do it. In End Note, there is a preview (independent window) with the citation (formatted with the chosen style). Do we have to export the citation in Word to see it??
Thank you.

Open PDF in Mendeley using latex and hyperref in linux
I am using Ubuntu 12.04, TexMaker 4.0.2 and Mendeley 1.9.2.
What I want to do is create a PDF documents which has links to other associated PDF files that are in Mendeley and actually open them with Mendeley.
So far it is possible to:
a) Right click - Open With - Mendeley Desktop
b) use \href{run:/file/location/file.pdf}{Open PDF} To open my pdf with default viewer
Don't want to make Mendeley my system wide default pdf viewer. But I want to open my linked files from a PDF in mendeley so I can read quickly what I want.
Even if Mendeley is the default PDF viewer, Document viewer gives error saying failed to execute child process permission denied. (Evince is default in texmaker)
Any ideas?
Can I set it such as to select Mendeley to Open my file?
Thanks

Mendeley desktop will not connect to the internet. I tried to reset the programme and I am now unable to log in. This is having recently had problems with the wireless network in the office.
Any advice would be welcome.

Unable to open pdf file
I just installed Mendeley 1.9.2, and since then have been unable to open the vast majority of PDF files in Mendeley desktop. Previously I used to drag and drop the PDF files to Mendeley desktop and now It is also not working. I don’t have any “ broken chain icon next to some of my references, only have grey colour dot without PDF sign. How can I fix this? If I manually remove and re-add all the files, will Mendeley store my notes and annotations or will I lose them? Thank you in advance.

drag PDF link into Mendeley Desktop not working
The ability to drag a PDF link from a website (in this case arxiv) into the MendeleyDesktop window, and have it automatically add a new entry and download the file, seems to not work for me.
I am running v1.9.2 on a RedHat Linux workstation, running release 6.4 (Santiago).
The specific error I get (visible in the terminal when I run MendeleyDesktop from there) is:
Unsupported action "ENABLEWHATSNEW"
