I was trying to open a magnet link into transmission-qt directly from chromium.
As of now it does not work, because xdg-open makes confusion between the "Name" field from "[Desktop Entry]" and the "Name" field from "[Desktop Action Minimize]" when parsing transmission-qt.desktop. The bug is caused by a bashism and it was already fixed upstream. Unfortunately, I cannot use a dist patch: it doesn't apply correctly as they have bumped version to 1.1.0-rc3 in the meantime :( See: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/commit/?id=48545132620f85d3ba133010116884a63f26f3a3 OK for the diff below?
