Can't change magnet handler

0

I am trying to change my magnet handler by using:

gvfs-mime --set x-scheme-handler/magnet qbittorrent.desktop

I am getting an error:

Failed to load info for handler 'qbittorrent.desktop'

Please note the qbittorrent in installed. I've also tried using transmission with same results.

According to man gvfs-mime gvfs-mime has been deprecated and it is redirected to gio mime.

Issue the following command instead, it works just fine for me:

gio mime x-scheme-handler/magnet qbittorrent.desktop

The command to show the default program and alternative programs to open magnet links is:

gio mime x-scheme-handler/magnet

Set your preferred app, for example:

gio mime x-scheme-handler/magnet org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent.desktop
