[SOLVED]magnet links xdg-open run wrong application

Hello,
I have a problem with Google Chrome and magnet links, which try to open them with tixati(which isn't installed). I found some similar threads here and I checked mimeapps.list which has the correct handler for magnet links(qbittorrent). I also tried to open a magnet link with xdg-open from command line and I get the same error because still tries to open tixati. It works if I try gvfs-open but this doesn't help because chrome uses xdg-open. How can I fix this?

I suppose you had Tixati installed at some point?

Maybe, I don't remember because I have this installation for a long time.

I fixed it by using xdg-mime to set qbittorrent.destop as default application for magnet. I updated the mime database and now seems that works fine.
