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
Still not sure about this 'Subscribe' button to attempt auto launch.
If the user clicks on say iCal and they are running windows/linux,
and the browser displays a pop up listing all the different apps for
the user to choose from or give the user the option to save the file
to their desktop…It seems as if the button didn't work in the first
place.
I think we're all agreed on most of the issues below? With the
exception of the URL being either inside a text box or as URL links.
(I personally don't favor either or). I've mocked something up to
help visualize a drop down menu in the 'Collections Details' dialog.

My only question is why would the subscribe pull down (my apologies I
should probably address this on the other thread: http://
lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/design/2006-December/005955.html)
go to another dialog box if the Collection Details provide all the
correct URLs? I will comment on the other thread.

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]

Questions:
+ Does anybody else support Chandler Morse code? Users can
already get a Chandler URL from the Subscribe with Chandler option.
