Hi,
I'm using opera 58.0.3135.90 with ubuntu 18.10. When i'm trying to open magnet links, it open pop up lunch xdg-open. But when i click to lunch it don't do a thing.
In chrome it's work like it should.
gio mime x-scheme-handler/magnet
Default application for “x-scheme-handler/magnet”: qbittorrent.desktop
Registered applications:

xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/magnet
qbittorrent.desktop
The problem is not in defaults. Chrome work fine with same xdg-open. -

Update: I have removed the snap version and installed from
http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable
repository. Everything is working now. I have copied profile from snap version. So it seems like problem was in snap version of opera.jimunderscorep thank you.

That's what I was about to say. Snap apps, in general, have restrictions on what they can and can not access from the main os. As it seems, by default, the snap opera can not access the association for the magnet:// links.
