Mimi and I went over some details about the collection details dialog  
buttons:

*The issue:*
When the user is logged in and they edit the display name of the  
collection there should be a way for the user to 'save' the display  
name. Since the 'save' button is at the bottom of the dialog box, it  
may look as if the user could 'download' the URL/ticket because it is  
in an editable text field similar to the display name.

*Question:* Will it be possible to disable the URL/ticket so the user  
would not be able to edit the URL/ticket in the text field?

*Ticket view:*
Currently when the user is in 'ticket' view, the display name of the  
collection is not editable so there would just be a close button at  
the bottom of the dialog.

*Logged In View:*
The display name of the collection is editable, so there would be a  
'Save' button in addition to the 'Close' button added to the bottom  
of the dialog. We realize the location the button might cause  
confusion if you can download the URL/ticket, but at this point it's  
not that terrible that we could wait until we receive some dogfood  
feedback on it.

An additional option is to allow a 'Apply Now' button which would be  
disabled until the user starts to edit the display name. Though I  
think this is a little overkill right now and more of a 'nice to have'.

One last detail in terms of behavior I'd like to be clear with the  
drop down list: When the user selects 'Download calendar and  
tasks' (.ics file), the 'download' dialog prompt from the browser  
will appear:
http://svn.osafoundation.org/docs/trunk/docs/specs/cosmo/rel0_6/ 
downloadIcsFile.png

The user would then be able to either 'Save' the .ics file or  
'Cancel' and it would take the user back the 'Collection Details'  
dialog. In other words, the user does not need to select 'Save' to  
save the .ics file to the computer desktop.
