Either edit the one in /usr/share/applications, > or put your modified one in ~/.local/share/applications As I said before, it's already there: $ grep magnet /usr/share/applications/qBittorrent.desktop MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;x-scheme-handler/magnet; I had tried putting it in .config/autostart since QBT is an autostarted program, that's all. Just for the heck of it, I also copied it to .local/share/applications as you suggest. It made no difference. Still counting this as 'hard' (not least because I don't consider any of the above suggestions as remotely obvious to the average user, even if they did actually work). poc _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
