Hi there,
I just noticed that mendeley 1.8.5 doesn't work with libre4. How can I downgrade to 1.8.4 without losing my libraries ?
Thanks!

JavaScript error in citeproc.js
I have the same problem as documented here:
http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/questions/1195377-insert-citation-error
(I am running Mendeley Desktop Version 1.8.4 on Scientific Linux 6.3.) In this thread the user mentions that the problem is fixed when running v1.8.5 on a Linux Mint system so I think it might be worth trying v1.8.5 on my SL6.3 system.
However, when I do to the download page, I am only offered v1.8.4.
Please advise.
Thanks
John

Can I set Default Zoom Size?
Hi,
Whenever I view a PDF using Mendeley desktop, it default to a large size and I ALWAYS have to decrease the zoom size. I end up using the external PDF viewer because I can set the default to a full page view. I wish I could set something similar in Mendeley viewer as the default.
Thanks, keep up the good work!

Mendeley Desktop not importing some files
Hello,
I am trying to import files into Mendeley desktop using the "add folder" command. For some reason, all 10 pdfs in one folder and a few from another folder import but with the "broken link" symbol. The file name, however, appears at the bottom of the metadata in the window on the right (although it does not let me "open containing folder" or "open file," these options are greyed out).
I am using a MacBook using OSX 10.5.8. I downloaded the files using Safari. When I tried importing one of the files on a PC with Windows 7 using Chrome to download, it worked normally. What's going on and why does the Mac have trouble?

Removing citation/reference from Bibliography
I am using Mendeley desktop for making bibliography while writing a research article. I want to remove one reference/citation from the bibliography. When I delete the reference/citation manually and refresh the bibliography, the deleted reference/citation comes back. So my question is how to remove reference/citation permanently from bibliography?

Mendeley duplicates don't synchronize, your servers don't collect the information needed
Hi,
I have 2 laptops and Mendeley is installed in both of them. I did the following:
1. In one laptop I turned off Mendeley and then deleted the mysql file, actually I deleted all the contents from that folder.
2. I then went to the other laptop and solved all the duplicates until there were none. I then synchronized several times with Mendeley’s servers
3. I then turned on the other laptop and waited until the entire database was downloaded again.
My results:
In the laptop that just had the database downloaded all the duplicates are still there while in the other laptop there are no duplicates. And both computers synchronize normally with Mendeley’s servers.
This is a bug right? Mendeley’s servers don’t collect the field of information that checks if a piece has been checked as a not duplicate. The version I have is 1.8.4
Thanks,

Inline: Book chapter
Hi!
I'm using Harvard referencing format. I am citing a chapter of a journal articles, and therefore treating it as a book chapter to have both the editors and the chapter authors. My problem is when I cite the chapter in text it lists both surname AND first names, instead of just surname as I prefer. For instance: (P. A. Adler & P. Adler 2012) instead of (Adler & Adler 2012). It is only a problem with book chapters. How do I change this?

erroneous citation style
Hi,
the style for Methods in Ecology and Evolution displays the retrieval date of the pdf in the bibliography, which is clearly a bug. The access macro should strictly only be displayed for references to web pages. I tried to open the citation style editor and disable the access macro, but the CSL interface will not save, because that renders the citation style "invalid".
Please help.

Superscript, Subscript, and Italics
Is there any way to use special formatting for article titles in Mendeley? Specifically, I would like to be able to directly enter superscripts and subscripts in a way that they will be displayed properly in the bibliography produced by the Word plugin.
Has this issue been resolved by now, this is a critical thing as so many scientific terms contain superscripts, subscripts and italicized terms?
Thanks!

highlighting, collections, etc.
Greetings--
So I just got my first Mendeley "collection" solidified and was starting to highlight/annotate/take notes on the articles therein. I was having some trouble highlighting--sometimes it would work, sometimes it would want to highlight text a few lines lower than the text I wanted instead--so I went to your FAQs and found a technician's suggestion that downloading your most recent beta upgrade might solve the problem. So I downloaded that, but now 1) I have all my citations in Mendeley but no "collections," and 2) the highlighting and note-taking I had done on that first article is all gone. I backed up my Mendeley stuff before downloading the beta version, as you suggested, but I can't figure out how to re-import that data (if that's what I want to do--will that have my highlighting etc. saved?). Help!

Hi, how can I change Mendeley language into Portuguese, or at least the one of the citations?
I need to change my citations and bibliography to portuguese.
The authors's names have the word "and" (ex: Elson and Olson must be Elson e Olson).
Can you help me? I Need to submit my master thesis.

Issue editing installed citation style (Journal of Public Health)
Hi,
I'm currently having an issue when I attempt to edit the Journal of Public Health Citation style as per http://support.mendeley.com/customer/portal/articles/895771-getting-started-with-the-visual-csl-editor
As the JoPH referencing style actually uses arabic numerals I would like to update the style I downloaded. However, although the unedited style is easily applied to my document using the Word plug-in, when I go through Mendeley Desktop (View - Citation Style - More Citations...) JoPH does not appear on my Installed list. On the "Get More Styles" tab it still has an install button (which has no effect). As a result, right-click does not open a menu and I cannot access the edit option.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kind regards,
Lara

if I delete a file in watched folder, does it delete the file in library
HI, My watched folder is getting really big with many papers in it. The performance starts to slow down and many times it takes a long time (sometimes never) for a new paper to be found by mendeley desktop.
One thing I am thinking is whether I can empty the watched folder. But I am not sure if this will lead to all entries in my library disappear as well. Could you help to answer this?
Thank you
