/usr/bin/transmission-gtk

Snap 4.1.0-beta.2 can access the /tmp folder, while the stable 4.0.6
cannot. Both snap versions, however, have a working Ctrl + E or right-
click -> “Open Folder” functionality.

I guess it was a mistake to mention snaps, because the issue I reported
is unrelated.

I’ve been using Transmission for many years and have never had any
problems with symbolic links to /tmp/Downloads. The issue only started
after upgrading from 25.04 to 25.10.

I normally don’t use the snap versions — I had only installed them to
check whether I could reproduce the issue then removed them. While snaps
don’t suffer from this particular problem, they have had other
consistent issues for quite a while (at least across 24.04, 25.04, and
25.10).

At the moment, no Transmission Ubuntu package seems to be working
properly/bug free on my system. Before 25.10, the deb package worked
great for my use case and the way I was using it. This isn’t a major
issue, and I can definitely live with it, but it would still be nice to
see it resolved.

Edit:
By the way, I just replaced Downloads with a regular ~/Downloads directory, and right-click -> Open Folder (or Ctrl+E) still doesn’t work. So it’s definitely unrelated to /tmp.”

Title:
  ‘Open Folder’ (Ctrl+E) does nothing in Transmission when installed
  from deb. Snap versions (stable and beta) are not affected..

Status in transmission package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When using Transmission installed from the default Ubuntu deb package
  on 25.10, selecting “Open Folder” (Ctrl+E or context menu) does
  nothing. No file manager window opens.

  Expected: file manager should open the torrent’s download directory.

  This bug affects the transmission-gtk binary package, but I could not select it. Launchpad reports:
  “'transmission-gtk' does not exist in Ubuntu. Please choose a different package.”

  Bug concerns only the GTK frontend. transmission-qt has unrelated
  issues that are out of scope here.
