<![CDATA[Opera Snap can't open applications]]>I recently installed Opera Snap version 55.0.2994.37. I can not open magnet torrent links or telegram links because opera can not run respective programs like transmission or telegram. I use linux mint 18.3 cinnamon. Regular opera do not have this problem but snap version unfortunately does.

I installed snap version to get rid of constant video codecs headache but it caused more problems than it solved. On top of opening applications problem now the problem of loss of saved passwords appeared. So I deleted the snap version and went back to regular opera.

I installed gnome-software from mint software center to be able to reach opera snap permissions. I gave it all permissions but my problem persists.

https://docs.snapcraft.io/reference/interfaces

And this is how you set the permissions for each snap app

I do not use snap, flatpack or appimage apps because I think the concept behind them is too windows-y (an app with all its dependencies in a huge "portable" package), which is the exact opposite of the concept of what a package manager does.
If I ever use one, it will have to be a top of the line app, e.g photoshop, if it ever comes out for linux. .

Something like android's app permissions.
So, please check what opera's snap asks for and allow it accordingly.
