Watch folders
Using OSX 10.8.5, Mendeley 1.10.1, Dropbox 2.4.11
I have a few of my dropbox folders selected as "Watch Folders". My typical method is to find an article on google scholar, download the full text pdf, save it to one of the watch folders.
If Mendeley Desktop is open during this time, it will not update, even if I press the sync button. However, if I close Mendeley and immediately reopen it, it does update.
Is there a way to have it update without the restart?

Mendeley crashing immediately after opening
We have installed multiple versions of Mendeley (current version and newer potentially, buggy versions) on a Mac (OS X 10.6.8). When we open Mendeley and it is updating the library it just shuts off. This happens even if you try to prevent it from updating. What steps should we take next?

Word 365 plugin not working
The Mendeley plugin for Word (365) has suddenly stopped working. This has possibly happened since either Mendeley (v1.10.2) or Word updated.
I now get and error message if I click on a reference from Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications stating "Compile error in hidden module: MendeleyLib. This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform or architecture of this application." I'm also unable to edit any references.
I've tried uninstalling MS word plugin but no luck.
Any help offered to solve this issue would be very greatly appreciated!

Zotero "Proceedings Title" fields not importing
I have Mendeley Desktop configured to synchronize with Zotero Standalone on Windows 7 platform, and in general the sync works perfectly EXCEPT for the field of "Proceedings Title", this field just is blank in Mendeley. So none of the conference paper citations from Zotero show up in Mendeley with this field filled in... please help!
Thanks very much,

NAS Synology
Dear,
I have downloaded Mendeley and am using a macbook pro.
In my home-network the computer is connected to a NAS through wifi with all my pdf articles.
I want to synchronize them with the mendeley to make a database. However i cannot find how to do this. Add File/Folder does not work.
I would like to keep all the files on the NAS.
thank you
Kind regards,
PJ

Endnote XML wrong ref-types
Hi,
Mendeley claims to export Endnote XML for Endnote 8+. However, the ref-type numbers you export correspond to the old (Endnote 7) XML format.
For example you export "Journal Article" as ref-type 0, you export "Book" as 1, but it should be 6. You can find a mostly complete list of the 7 vs. 8+ ref-types here: https://drupal.org/comment/1147601#comment-1147601 in post 3 and 4.
(You can also just try this out with Endnote).

Adding citation styles
I have been trying to add Council of Science Editors (formerly Council of Biology Editors 5th Edition) citation style to my desktop but I am unable to do it. I have tried to add the file from the CSL Repository into the citation styles folder in the mendeley desktop file on my hard drive but it will not allow anything to be added. How do I add this citation style?
Many thanks
Niamh

Enabled "Organize my files": directories are created but they are empty
Hi,
I am on Linux Mint 16 (Petra), Mendeley Desktop V1.10.2
When I set "organize my files", Mendeley is able to create the directories (for example named after the Journal) but they are all empty. I've read some similar problems here on the forum, but I am reluctant to downgrade (in linux this can be a mess because of APT). Any hint?
On a similar note: I've just changed computer and on my previous system (Linux Mint 15) everything was working fine. I still have my old "Mendeley files" folder with all the files in it, but it seems that Mendeley really wanted to download all the files again (what it did).

Using endnotes for comments
Hi.
I love what Mendeley does for my organisation level.
However, I seem to have a problem, and it seems unlikely I should be the first (though it appears so):
I am writing an article and would like to use endnotes both for references and for comments such as: For a recent review, see (citation). That way, you don't need two different numbering systems for references and notes.
You often see this in papers from e.g. Org. Lett. so i don't see why the feature should not be there allready.
Also, i can't locate the "Merge citations" tool in Word 2013.
I hope you will be able to help me out.

Web Import
Hi there,
I just installed Mendeley Desktop on my mac together with the web import function, "Save to Mendeley" is visible on my bookmarks bar, but every time I click on it to import a PDF-file to the library, it online imports some of the data and the link, there is no pdf in mendeley desktop, despite a lot of syncing…I never got an error message and I can see the full PDF in my browser, I did not have to log in anywhere and I am able to just save the pdf to my mac.
Could please tell me what I am doing wrong…? In my understanding, mendeley web importer is able to save the pdf to the desktop program…?

arXiv lookup
Hi,
arXiv lookup is still failing for all documents. I saw in the forum that Mendeley was apparently blocked by the arXiv since at least November. Is there any news on that? Why was it blocked in the first place? What steps have been taken to restore functionality and when is it expected to work again?
Thanks!

Open Office Plugin
Hello,
I use Open Office on my Windows 7 computer and I just downloaded Mendeley desktop (downloaded today, version 1.10.1). I saw that I should go to the tools menu in the desktop to download the plugin. I have MS office on my computer (it came pre-installed), but don't have a key code so I use open office instead.
The only options available are:
Tools:
- Invite Colleagues
- Install Web Importer
- Install MS word plugin
- Check for duplicates
- Options
On your guide I saw options for other plugins, are they no longer available? Please could you help get the open office plug in.
Thanks
