Wheee! Lots of new features - internal PDF viewer with annotations, embeddable public collections, completely revamped interface for Mac... - Victor / Mendeley Team

Nice one. Victor, re: "Please note: As part of the upgrade process, if you have an online account already, Mendeley Desktop will need to perform a full sync when it next starts. This may take some time depending on the size of your library". Tried and failed to do this. Where did I go wrong? Thanks. - Graham Steel

Hi Graham - did you get an error message? Or no reaction at all? Any info would be appreciated; best to support@mendeley.com so we can track it. Thanks! - Victor / Mendeley Team

waiting for my validation mail... - Dahaniel

Hi Dahaniel - can you please mail me at victor.henning@mendeley.com, then I'll send you the verification link! - Victor / Mendeley Team

I just got it seems I am a bit too impatient :) - Dahaniel

For some reason, my collections are empty - pqs

Does the mac client allow you to import a folder with lots of subfolders full of pdfs in one go yet? - Matt Leifer

Yes, from a functionality perspective. I would however ask you to only add files in batches of ~200 articles or so, instead of adding 1000 PDFs in one go. - Jan / Mendeley.com

OK, I do want to try out Mendeley, but what I really need is a script that allows me to import my entire library of several thousand articles in one go. Otherwise, the time I would need to invest in switching from my existing reference manager seems like too much. Of course, an "import from Papers" function that also preserves metadata would be even better. - Matt Leifer

Mendeley 0.9.1 is out today, mostly a bugfix release. Should fix the empty collection issue. - Mr. Gunn

After upgrading, my collections are still empty. I'm under Ubuntu 8.04. The collections are full in the website. - pqs from email

PQS, can you please send the bug report to support@mendeley.com, including the e-mail address you are using the account with? We can then have a closer look at the problem. Thanks! - Jan / Mendeley.com

I'll do it - pqs from email
