From a terminal what is the output of "xdg-mime > query filetype /path/to/file.torrent" (use a real file) and "xdg-mime query > default application/x-bittorrent"? The other place is in Gnome or Nautilus. > Right-click a torrent file in Nautilus and click properties. If there's an > "open with" tab, you can change it there.

$ xdg-mime query default application/x-bittorrent deluge.desktop $ xdg-mime query my-torrent-file.torrent xdg-mime: unknown query type 'my-torrent-file.torrent' Try 'xdg-mime --help' for more information. So it looks like the default bittorrent file is already associated with deluge. I've also checked ~/.config/mimeapps.list and it's already associated with deluge: $ grep magnet ~/.config/mimeapps.list x-scheme-handler/magnet=deluge.desktop; x-scheme-handler/magnet=deluge.desktop The first one is with [Added Associations] and the second is with [Default Applications] Thanks, Alex _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/XTIPCU4TMERN2KCPSYUVTCTHQ2P3DLJ4/
