I'm trying to set up qbittorrent to handle magnet: links. I've searched
high and low in KDE Settings to no avail. Note that these links don't
usually have a distinguishing file extension. Instead they're flagged as
magnet:... in the URL.
Why is this stuff so hard?
Any app that can support magnet links needs to have
x-scheme-handler/magnet listed among supported MimeTypes in their
.desktop file, e.g.:
MimeTypes=...;x-scheme-handler/magnet;
/usr/share/applications/qBittorrent.desktop already has the line:
MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet;
I copied it to /home/poc/.config/autostart/qBittorrent.desktop
Wrong place to put it. Either edit the one in /usr/share/applications,
or put your modified one in ~/.local/share/applications
