In EndNote , select the references that you want to import into Mendeley Desktop, and from the File menu, select Export Open Mendeley Desktop. From the File menu , select Add Files. Your references but not PDFs are imported.

When you download the desktop version of Mendeley, a folder is automatically created. The Downloads folder is in your Mendeley data folder. Note: If you work on more than one computer, these folders will not contain the same files; each device will have the PDFs that were added from that computer. Collections References can be added to Collections to organize and categorize your library.

Click on New Collection to add a custom collection. Drag and drop items or select multiple items and use the Organize option that appears at the bottom center of the page. Adding a reference to a Collection does not relocate the reference, but acts as a label. Favorites Click on the star icon to mark favorite citations. To "favorite" a batch of items, select the citations and use the Mark as option at the bottom center of the page. Where your database files are stored depends on your operating system.

Thanks very much indeed. The code suggested in the initial post worked like a charm, after I deleted lines 3 and 4. Hakan, this happened to me — I migrated to a new computer and it started downloading all my pdfs from the cloud. I tried this with SQLite portable, but when trying to open the Mendeley database it asks surprisingly for a passphrase. But my Mendeley password does not work..

Any ideas? Is there a standard password? Thanks for any input…. Problem solved…but anyway weird and no idea why… But altogether it was easy and helped a lot…thanks for the code! If any of the other settings were altered for this databse file you need to provide this information as well. I solved the passphrase problem by using the database file www. Before I used a copy of it on my desktop and had only user rights and this did not work therefore perhaps a problem with user rights in windows?

But just a guess. I have the same problem with password as Peter. The problem is, I do try to open the sqlite file from its original location. I have the same problem as Monika. I am trying to open the sqlite file from its original location.

I have admin rights as well. Still I get the box to enter the passphrase. Cannot open the mendeley sqlite database. Any help appreciated. I have the same problem as the passphrase, also there is no option to open it with administrator rights. Do you eber run inmto anny browser comatibility issues?
