Mendeley Desktop version 1.8

This is the most stablished

Paperpile

The thing I liked from the beginning in this software is that they have a version for linux and Mac. Strange they couldn’t make a version for windows :P. I discovered they used Catalyst  a perl MVC framework and this really impressed me.

They thing I didn’t like was that they don’t watch folders for new papers, and they duplicate your paper in a folder caled ~/.paperpile

I had some problems import 90 articles and I believe I’m supposed to add it by “manually” … boring!

Another killing feature is the possibility to search and download papers directly, but unfortunately they don’t have a good support for proxy, this would be really necessary since I’m downloading articles from everywhere I am not only from work.

The pdf preview sucks a little bit but they are still developing it. better would be if I could open the pdf outside the program.

They could create and account and sync my data.

Another problem I had was with screen resolution 1024×600, I usually use a big screen resolution since my computer is a pavillion dm1. had to change to 1280×768.

I accidentaly closed the app during the long time for importing, Had to import all folder again, takes forever!

I’m receiving this message on terminal:

QNetworkAccessFileBackendFactory: URL has no schema set, use file:// for files

It accused duplicated files while there it was supplementary material form the same paper!

Everytime I add a new paper I need to add the folder and wait for the import of all my 423 papers again ? Seriously ? 9minutes ? No way

Google Scholar not working

Very cool they have Cloud for Authors, Journals and Labels

You Can’t add one label inside the other, like folders on Mendeley!
