[SOLVED] Can't "Open Containing Folder" in Transmission-QT

When I right click on one of my torrents and select the option to "open containing folder," it doesn't appear that anything happens. No file manager is opened to the location of the file or folder. I am using i3, but I also tested this with KDE Plasma and I have the same result. I start both with startx if that helps. When I used a display manager, I don't recall if this option worked. I could turn it back on to test if needed.
My .xinitrc is:

#!/bin/sh
[[ -f ~/.Xresources ]] && xrdb -merge -I$HOME ~/.Xresources
[ -f /etc/xprofile ] && . /etc/xprofile
[ -f ~/.xprofile ] && . ~/.xprofile
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ] ; then
 for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/?*.sh ; do
  [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
 done
 unset f
fi
[[ -f ~/.Xmodmap ]] && xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
exec i3

and my .xprofile is:

#!/bin/sh
if [ "$XDG_DESKTOP_SESSION" != KDE ]
	then export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct
fi
export GTK_USE_PORTAL=1
export PATH=$PATH:~/.emacs.d/bin
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0

What filemanagers do you have installed?
Does "xdg-open /tmp" work?

That command works and opens my default file manager thunar. It's under my mimeapps.list for "inode/directory."

Re: [SOLVED] Can't "Open Containing Folder" in Transmission-QT

The person that mentioned you should check the properties first and then open the containing folder was right. It's easily replicated. Considering transmission released 3.0 pretty recently, you wouldn't think this king of thing would be an issue. This has nothing to do with Arch or my configuration apparently. Marking this as solved. Thanks!
