Hi there,
My magnet link is not working properly, i am using transmission-gtk.
xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/magnet
transmission-gtk.desktop
I know its because i have changed the DE in .xprofile.
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum
Is there any way to make sure i am using kvantum manager without any broken xdg-open??

It's rather $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP than the style?
Also the problem is kinda underspecified - what does "not working properly" actually mean?
At least the mime query looks ok, so what are you trying to do, do you expect and does happen instead?

I mean when i open pdf it opens on browser, when i open docx file it opens on libreoffice but
when i try to open some link in my mail it does nothing, similarly when i try magnet download it does nothing.

My mail client is Bluemail. But thats not the problem because when i remove that two line from .xprofile it works perfectly.

Depends

where do you try to open the magnet link?

Again, the critical one is most likely $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Thanks, i wanted to use kvanutm manager on bspwm as some apps not as good looking as it was on kde.
I edited /usr/bin/xdg-open and configured it so that even when DE is detected as KDE, the DE is set to generic.
Thanks for your help Seth.
