That's good, except there's no need for a subscribe button - you click the link itself. That's what links are for :-)

Good point...
Perhaps we can make it 2 steps instead:
1. Select option from pulldown
2. Click a [Subscribe] button --> Attempt auto-launch of appropriate app

=====
Collection name: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Bookmark this]
----------------------------------------------------------------------

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 --> Dialog expands to display the following -
Copy and Paste this URL to the Calendar>>Subscribe... menu item in iCal:

Subscribe with Feed Reader --> Dialog expands to display the following -

Download calendar and tasks --> Downloads .ics file to Desktop

Other --> Displays the following in the dialog -

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.
