I have been using a desktop installation on a desktop device for quite a while. I manually rename my PDF articles prior to attaching to reference entries in the desktop version. My desktop syncs to the Web with no issue.
I now want to also use a laptop with the Mendeley desktop application installed and be able to use either device and keep my references, with their attached PDF files, in sync. When I installed Mendeley desktop application on the laptop and logged in using the same account I use on my other device, Mendeley proceeded to sync the the laptop installation with the web. No problem, EXCEPT when it downloaded the attached PDF files, it renamed each of them (300+).
How do I get the laptop installation to perform an initial sync and not make any changes to my PDF filenames? I want to be sure that my PDF files keep the name I give them regardless of which device I use to create a reference and attach a PDF.
