Back in the day older Fedora releases included <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/transmission-remote-gui\/transgui\">transgui<\/a> for this purpose.  They&#8217;re almost identical.  I&#8217;ve always assumed that transmission-remote-gtk was a GTK port of the Lazarus\/Free Pascal transgui.  I&#8217;ve always used transgui and I prefer it because it has a couple of features I am loath to give up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It supports the dragging and dropping of magnet links and, if you copy a magnet link to the clipboard and then click on the transgui window, it will automagically add that magnet link to the download queue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It provides the ability to copy the full path to the downloaded torrent folder or to its individual files from the GUI, which makes downloading torrents from a remote seedbox much simpler.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, when transmission v3.0 was released transgui broke, and, since there wasn&#8217;t any active development on transgui, there was no immediate fix.  I had to stick with transmission v2.96 so that I could still use transgui.  Recently I noticed that the transgui project had received some commits that fix it for transmission v3.0.  So I&#8217;ve gone ahead and packaged transgui up for Fedora 35, 36, and 37 in <a href=\"https:\/\/copr.fedorainfracloud.org\/coprs\/dlk\/rpms\/\">my COPR repository<\/a>.  Works great for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>transgui is a better transmission-daemon client than transmission-remote-gtk on Fedora and now it&#8217;s been fixed to work with transmission v3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":117,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_editorskit_title_hidden":false,"_editorskit_reading_time":0,"_editorskit_is_block_options_detached":false,"_editorskit_block_options_position":"{}","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13],"tags":[24,12],"class_list":["post-116","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software-that-i-use","tag-fedora","tag-software","eq-blocks"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/daveking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/transgui.jpg?fit=1279%2C755&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":120,"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116\/revisions\/120"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/daveking.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
