[email protected] has granted Usability: Bug 401604: Request to be able to manage `x-scheme-handler` MimeTypes, which allows integrate apps by "XDG Shared MIME-info Database specification" sect= ion "URI scheme handlers" https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D401604 --- Comment #4 from [email protected] --- I hit this today, and it's a usability issue for end-users: 1. install two apps which handle the same uri schema (e.g. transmission-qt = and qbittorrent) 2. Now open a link in that scheme in your browser (or do "xdg-open magnet:blahblah:) 3. xdg-open will invoke this command and take the first output line, causing one of the two competing apps to be chosen: ktraderclient5 --mimetype x-scheme-handler/magnet --servicetype Applicati= on | grep ^DesktopEntryPath
