Hi,
I read a previously closed similar post. But I still have this issue: every time I merge some files, it becomes unmerged after I click the 'Sync' button or press 'F5' or do nothing until it sync itself. I understand that Mendeley compares the web and desktop library to decide which version is newer. So I don't understand why it doesn't work for me. Thanks,
Lei

Sorting inline citations
Hi, I am having problems figuring out how to sort the inline citations in Chicago. I saw another person had the same issue where you receive and error message when you create the Sort node. Has this issue been resolved?

over 2500 references and associated PDFs lost
I had over 4000 references in my Mendeleys desktop, yet a few days ago I only found over 1500. This was after one of the many Mendeley desktop crashes, so I suspect this is due to an unsuccessfully recover. I had already noticed the occasional loss of pdfs from time to time, yet this is a major loss that will take me ages to recover from. I wonder why this occurs so I do not have to face a similar problem in the future. Mendeley is a fantastic tool for my research, so hope this problem will not force me to have to shift to another reference manager.
Thanks a lot,
Dani

The length of pdf files is limited
Hey,
after I upgrated to mendeley 1.9.2, I found that Mendeley limits the length of the pdf files (I use Mendeley to rename the file name after I draged them into Mendeley). It would cause some problems as some information was lost. Can it be changed back?
The same problem when Mendeley is 1.10-dev1

Microsoft Word for Mac Plug-in Not Working
Hi,
Currently using Mendeley 1.9.2 and Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 (14.3.5).
Was using the plug-in with no problem, and it suddenly stopped working half way through the document. I've tried restarting, no change...
When I go to 'about this menu' it says that I need to add a script or workflow to the menu, but when I click, "open folder", it does contain the Mendeley scripts!
Help!

pdf files unreadable on one macbook but readable on another macbook desktop and mendeley web
I have a large number of pdfs which were added to Mendeley desktop on a macbook. The document entries and pdfs are readable on that macbook and Mendeley web version.
The document entries and information are available on another macbook (Air) and file icons are visible (though blank rather than adobe icons), but the files have zero size and cannot be read. I have tried deleting the file from the macbook Air Mendeley and adding the correct file (directly copied from the file which is visible on the other macbook) but as soon as Mendeley syncs these files are deleted from Mendeley. The names of the files appear to have been changed in the sync process, with the ".pdf" deleted from the name. They have also been modified by file naming rules despite not having this option enabled on the macbook Air which has the problem.
Note, most of my 2500 pdfs are syncing and available. This problem affects about 100 recently added pdfs. On the other hand, as the most recent additions these are the files I'm most interested in at present.

Mendeley Plugin MS Office 2013 / Win8
I have just started to use Mendeley. I am using 64bits win8 with MS Office 2013.
Whenever I try to install the plugin I get an error message that says that I do not have ms office 2010, or im using a click to run.
I've seen previous posts on this problem, but this PC never had a previous version of MS Office and the "Fix it" tool from Microsoft didn't do the trick.
What can I do?
Tks

Frequent Mendeley crashing
Mendeley has been crashing quite frequently lately. It appears to happen when I try and open a pdf into it by just opening the pdf in Mendeley. This has happened both in opening the pdf from a web browser and directly from my computer. It has happened with many different pdfs. This has been incredibly frustrating as I have lost my work multiple times. I am using the most up to date version of Mendeley (1.9.2) on a mac with mountain lion.
Additionally, I have noticed that links between references and files keep disapearing. I am imagine this is related to the database being damaged during a crash. Most importantly, in allowing mendeley to "clean up" the folder a bunch of these pdfs were then archived.
I have been a frequent mendeley user and have even been promoting it to others. I have been willing to put up with some of the idiosyncrasies of it (ie poor ipad syncing, small cloud sync allowances, constant creation of duplicates and no ability to cite in mac pages), however, I am currently writing my dissertation and have spent WAY too much time having to rebuild databases. I am on the verge of finding a more stable solution as stability issues have been going on for a while. This has become unacceptable. I have no problem paying for a service (as some of the alternatives will require), but I am not going to pay for a service with these constant stability issues.
Is there any solution?

Mendeley crashes when shutting down.
I have noticed that when I shut down Mendeley, prior to shutting down my computer,Mendeley then crashes. After seeing this once or twice, I decided to figure out the problem. The problem is that some part of Mendeley continues to run for a while before the program actually shuts down. So, if during that interval, the computer shuts down faster than Mendeley does, the next time Mendeley opens, it does so with the window that says it crashed. Is there some way to fix Mendeley to avoid that?

Word plug-in crashes : "unable to start MD automatically" error
Hello,
I have Windows 7 (64 bit) and Mendely Desktop 9.1.2. When I use the "insert citation" command in Word I get the following error:
"unable to start Mendeley Desktop automatically: unable to send HTTP request to / Mendelydesktop info. Try starting Medeley desktop manually"
but MD is already open and connected, moreover I've been using MD till few weeks ago without problems. Any suggestion? Is it a problem of my Word version?
Thanks in advance
