Hi, Is there any work being done on multi-user support on the same instance of Mendeley? I do know that I can log out of one account and log into another. But, I don't wish to do that especially if I have some references that I share between the two accounts. Thanks Vamsee

OSA journal

Hi, I've added this citation style file to my mendeley desktop: http://www.opticsinfobase.org/submit/templates/wordwp/osa.csl However when I use the word plug-in to set the style this error pops up: Problem formatting citation #0 JavaScript error found: CSL error: Exception: TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object, 554, file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mendeley%20Desktop/citeproc-js/citeproc.js I'm not much of a programmer, and I suspect that it's a problem with the csl file. It would massively add to mendeley's utility from my perspective if it could work with this journal though. Cheers, Phil

Problems w/ restore from backup: "An unknown error has occurred"; "Deleting your server data failed"

I'm having trouble restoring from a Mendeley backup. I am running Mendeley 1.9.2 on Windows 8 Professional. I am able to successfully direct Mendeley to the backup .zip file, and it completes these steps: "- Checking the backup files... "- Deleting your server data..." But then it gives me this error: "An unknown error has occurred, Mendeley has been notified. (EID: merr-521d0e0d52cd9)" And it adds this in red below the two bullet points I typed out above: "- Deleting your server data failed. Try again later." It appears that some of my server data is deleted each time, because when I restart Mendeley or do a server sync the application warns me that [large number, about 10-20% of my total collection, different each time] of my entries were deleted on the server, do I want to continue anyway? To which I say "no." Since Mendeley has forgotten about the links to all of my files, I would really really like to restore from this backup so I can restore all of those links, which are the whole reason I use Mendeley in the first place. Please advise!

Automatically update citation key

When a new file is added to Mendeley Desktop, a citation key is created using, a.o. the year. However, when the year was initially wrong and later updated, the citation key is not changed. The wrong year is still used inside the citation key. Can you update the key for all documents at once? This feature exists in JabRef under the name Magic Key Generator. Is there something similar? I don't want to change all documents by hand in the details panel.

I have tried different citation styles and some of them should include the name of the source (e. g. Journal of Natural products) but other ones should include the abbreviation of the souce (e. g. J. Nat. Prod.). However, this feature has not been incorporated into the styles, as it always depends on how the reference was saved. How can I control this situation with the citation styles in Mendeley? Thanks
