I have no clue!

But if you right click on a m3u file you can see that 'Open with...' shows Qmmp (together with SMPlayer and Leafpad), and if you select Qmmp it indeed opens the m3u file. So the problem seems to be with default application. How to change that is the one million question.

It's weird because XFCE uses the same Opera and magnet links work beautifully. If I run
xdg-open maget: it opens a new tab on Opera if it's already opened, or it just launches Opera if it's closed. Man, how can simple things turn out to be the most complicated ones?

Hmmm... Maybe. It's something to be tested.

different blocksize or something...
time difference seems minimal... my understanding is xz is slower to compress generally than say gz but way faster to decompress
I see. It makes sense. But maybe
brokenman could change this in order to make it coherent.

maybe try editing that file directly..
It's a good theory, but I think it doesn't apply. At least I've changed this file and then opened a pcmanfm-qt as root and... the same fuc**** 'Icon view' and hidden files not visible.
