I don't like the "auto launching" part. Sometimes I just want to copy
the link, not launch an app. I want to select the item, then see
information for it below saying "Click the link to launch XXXX or
copy link into clipboard and paste into blah blah".
People don't expect selecting an option will do something as drastic
as launching another app.
Also, the "copy to clipboard" button - that's not a common web
convention, and not sure if it even works that well (can't get it to
work on Mac firefox right now for instance)

Hope this clarifies rather than confuses:
In the Collection details dialog (as in NOT the subscribe
pulldown), there is a pull-down:
=====
Collection name: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Bookmark this]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Subscribe with:
|Chandler|v|
iCal 2x
Feed Reader
Download calendar and tasks*
Other...
=====
* I think Download needs to be above Other as well as Feed Reader.
What happens when the user selects an option in the pulldown:
Subscribe with Chandler --> Dialog expands to display the following -
Copy and Paste this URL to the Collection>>Subscribe... menu item
in Chandler:
URL: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Copy to Clipboard] [Help]
Subscribe with iCal2x --> Auto-launches iCal if you're on Mac and
Dialog expands to display the following -
Copy and Paste this URL to the Calendar>>Subscribe... menu item in
iCal:
URL: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Copy to Clipboard] [Help]
Subscribe with Feed Reader --> Attempts to Auto-launch feed reader
and Dialog expands to display the following -
URL: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Copy to Clipboard] [Help]
Download calendar and tasks --> Downloads .ics file to Desktop
Other --> Displays the following in the dialog -
Find out which protocols your application supports and subscribe
with the appropriate URL:
CalDAV: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx]
WebCal: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx]
Atom: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx]
Questions:
+ Does anybody else support Chandler Morse code? Users can already
get a Chandler URL from the Subscribe with Chandler option.
