What version of WebTorrent Desktop? (See the 'About WebTorrent' menu)

0.5.1

What operating system and version?

OS X 10.11.5

What did you do?

Install the app.

What did you expect to happen?

.torrent will be associated with WebTorrent Desktop, since no other torrent clients are installed. This used to work correctly, but must have stopped working at some point.

What actually happened?

.torrent files are not associated.

Before this change, .torrent files would only be associated to
WebTorrent Desktop if another torrent client (like Transmission) was
installed on the system.

That's because one of the user's apps needs to define
"UTExportedTypeDeclarations".

On a fresh machine, without Transmission, WebTorrent Desktop now
associates .torrent files correctly.

So it will appear in the "Open With..." menu and the webtorrent
.torrent icon will be used for .torrent files.

Closes #542.

Figured this out. LOL, WebTorrent Desktop would only associate with .torrent files if you have another torrent client installed. Fixed in #553
