Mendeley gets a face lift - http://my.biotechlife.net/2009...
still sucks ... - pn
ugh? I prefer other solutions, but "sucks" is definitely not the right word - marcin
What do you say about a software that uses a lot of CPU, cannot "understand" the PDFs you're throwing at it and crashes randomly? - pn
Paulo, not Mendeley :) - Ricardo Vidal
I forgot to add corporate attempted censoring to the mix. - pn
Hrm... never been referred to as "corporate". Need to check if my suit still fits. - Ricardo Vidal
The corporate here is very loose. - pn
CPU - not a concern for me (and my mostly idle 4 cores), even if mendeley uses neural networks to decode author names from the raster PDFs it's fine as long as I do not have to type them in. The other points are IMHO only semi-valid it's an imperfect tool in a very imperfect world - I saw PDFs crashing adobe. And yes unfair, aggressive and insulting comments should be censored or better self-censored. - marcin
Yes, I also have a quad core machine and it hangs for a while processing. I tried three or four times and it failed to recognize the information in at least 50% of the PDFs. It crashes randomly, not only for me, and sometimes has to be killed. Regarding the unfair, aggressive and insulting comments, it looks like you're tyring to defend Mendeley with too much passion, I wonder why. Send me your email address and I will forward you their email "censoring" my comments. - pn
currently I have two apps running: FF (crashes randomly), Pida (crashes randomly). I don't know how to fix them so I live with it. I'd also cope with a crashing mendelay if I'd use it. That's my reality, sorry for being so forgiving. - marcin
Too bad all these comments are not about the redesigned site. Except for Bill's link to another discussion thread about the redesign :) - Ricardo Vidal
