qBittorrent does not show up as an option for Windows default magnet protocol handler

[PabloDons]

qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorent: 4.6.5 x64 lt20 qt6
Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.4651 x64

What is the problem?

In windows settings -> apps -> default apps -> choose default apps by protocol -> MAGNET:

qBittorrent does not show as one of the options. Because of this I am not able to open magnet links from any chromium based browser as they use this association. The setting to associate magnet links only affect the registry key Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MAGNET\shell\open\command which as far as I can understand, does nothing.

I have tried reinstalling qBittorrent several times with different combinations of settings as well as a full reset of settings, but nothing seems to make qBittorrent show up

Thanks! The registry file in that thread seems to work. However I understand that these registry entries should already be set during installation. Upon reinstalling qbittorrent, that was not the case.

In other words: This is still broken, and a manual fix is to set the registry keys manually. Should I write something on the linked PR? @glassez

This PR is already merged so v5.0 will provide such a feature.
