Whenever I try to update my Mendeley Desktop. I receive a notification that there is a problem, because the desktop was started from a read-only location. Copy it to the Application folder on your Mac and run it from there. But when I do it, it still does not work.

keep file links after reconfiguration
Hello,
I intend to reconfigure my whole PC and want to keep the links to my pdfs (I do have over 1 thousand pdfs linked to my mendeley desktop library) after the reconfiguration (the pdfs are saved on a server and not locally). Is this possible?
Thanks for your help!

The reference doesn't show up even though everything works...
Hi there,
I have a problem. When I want to put in a reference certain article doesn't show up in the word-document even though I am able to find them and select them in the Mendeley toolbar. Some article works, but others doesn't. Did I miss something?
Kind regards,

libraries
Hello
I am doing a review of the literature and I have run several searches with different sets of keywords. I would like to save the sets of results in different libraries, with different names (as one can do in EndNOte) in order to work on them separately.
Is this possible in Mendeley?
Thanks a lot
Regards,
Lia

in line reference format
I am using a 'custom' version of the AMA style updated by Joshua Cole. It worked great to sort my reference page by author name. However, I also need my inline citations to be regular script, not super scripted. I attempted to edit this myself using visual editor but just by unhightlighting the superscript tab in the inline citation layout section. I save as and when i go to use it in my paper this is what the reference becomes get messed up with symbols and baseline and span in what looks like a line of code. (i attempted to place it here, but it said invalid characters found and wouldn't let me.)
Any help would be appreciated on how to do this.
Thanks

How to set regularly use of "et al." to Nature citation
Hello there,
i would like to know how i can change the "Nature" CSL bibliography so that it writes et al. always after the first name. Right now I have the Problem, that my bibliography is very inhomogenous, sometimes there is an "et al" sometimes it writes 4 names.
I already tried to change the CSL settings of author:Name:et-al-use-last to "true" and "et-al-min = 1" as well as "et-al-first = 1".
If I do that, there are absolutly NO et al.s in my bibliography at all.
Would be great if you could help me.

infinite loop in Mendeley synchronization
Today, after several housekeeping changes in my library (which included deleting a group), Mendeley got stuck in what appears to be an infinite loop (it cannot be processing fifty thousand tasks for a relatively small library). The indication of a hangup is the fact that it will not quit the synchronization looping, even when clicked to cancel the procedure. The only way to stop is to crash the program (force quit). But then, as soon as I open the program again, the loop starts again.
Any fix for this bug?
Thanks in advance

downloaded files & file organizer
Hi,
since it is not easily possible to change to the folder where pdf files are downloaded to via the web importer I heard that one could use the file organizer/copy files to..., to change the way these pdf are stored.
Unfortunately I would like to only move these downloaded files and not all the files in my library since I have them in my specific folders and don't want to have another copy of them in another folder (which the file organizer does).
Does anybody know a good war around it?
Background is that I split my drive into C and D etc. and my free volume on C is getting pretty low.
I think mendeley should work on a way to be able to change the download directory in the future.
Thanks a lot

How do I add and save a keyword or annotation to a reference?
When I have highlighted a reference in a list, I would like to add a key word or tag to help me find the reference again in the future. Author keyword allows me to add, but the word I add is not saved with the file. What is the proper way to do this?

Synchronization with Mendeley Desktop
Hello all!
I have organized (300+) papers in a folder on my external HDD (e.g., E:\Mendeley). Each time I start Mendeley or make Sync, new papers (added in E:\Mendeley) are synchronized and copied to the Mendeley web (if not larger than 50MB), which is great because I use Mendeley on my laptop and iPad also, and I don't need to copy files manually. But what really annoys me is that, after synchronization, Mendeley copies (i.e. downloads) these papers in, e.g., C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\MendeleyLtd\Mendeley Desktop\Downloaded, and after downloading is done it changes file location of these papers entries, e.g., from E:\Mendeley\paper.pdf to C:\Users\USER\...\Downloaded\paper.pdf. I don't want it to change location of synchronized files, I want that papers entries always show on a file that I placed in E:\Mendeley (this folder and its subfolders are set to be my watched folders). How can I make Mendeley stop from copying files into C:\Users\... and stop it from changing files locations.
Also, I noticed that Mendeley always downloads the paper that I deleted in Mendeley application. How this can be, wouldn't be logical that when I delete paper in application, that it is also deleted on the Mendeley web?

E-ink reader recomendations
I am thinking abt purchasing e-ink reader. I wander if there is any you can reccomend?
Is there any e-ink reader that supports Mendeley? (As destop or that is able to access online library).
If not, there is still possibility to read paper on e-ink reader and use Mendeley desktop on PC and manually keep the libraries in sync.
Any thoughts?

Field entries missing upon export from Mendeley to Endnote XML
Hello,
when I export entries from my Mendeley library to Endnote format, there are various field entries missing, namely, among others:
• the "Issue" field (i.e. journals)
• the "institution" field (i.e. working papers)
• the "number" field (i.e. working papers)
• the "series" field
• the URL field
What's the deal with this? Can it be fixed? I need to send the content of a Mendeley folder with hundreds of entries to someone who works with Endnote, it would be a big, big pain if the person had to re-enter all the data.
I saw previous entries here:
http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/640595-institution-field-missing-from-export-to-endnote-xml-format
and here:
http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/351464-export-does-not-export-all-fields
I'd appreciate any help and can send you an example XML file if that helps.
Thanks,

Importation with the new Web of Science interface does not work
Hi,
I have been using Mendeley for half a year and I have not had any problems importing references from Web of Science. Recently, Web of Science changed its display format, and now, Mendeley does not work because it cannot detect any metadata.
Is this something that you are aware of and working on? I am very concerned because I almost exclusively use Web of Science.
Thanks,
Yolanda

Epub ahead of print
Hi,
I cannot format my citations so they appear in the bibliography as epub ahead of print. I saw another post that suggested using the CSL editor, but I don't understand where in this editor I am supposed to do this and how. It is only a few papers that need this adjustment, I don't need to change the whole citation style.
Hope someone can help,
thanks,

Only first author is shown
Hi
I've imported some documents to Mendeley desktop. Although it finds the paper title and authors, but asks me to search by title. When I search by title, it just mentions first author (without et all) and removes the rest of authors. Would you please help me to find my problem?

Files are not synchronized
Hello,
I know that Mendeley Desktop cannot sync documents of a size greater than 50MB to the web library but, why some files that have no more than 50 MB are not synchronized ?, therefore not loaded to Mendeley Web library.
Thanks
