Just a bit of info.  If you right click on one of the list of applications you'd see
"Remove Launcher" grayed out.
That is because the files being referenced are *desktop files in /usr/share/applications.

Some may seem to be duplicates but really are not.  The Name in the *desktop file is
duplicated but the exec in the file is not.

An example of this is org.freedesktop.IBus.Panel.Emojier.desktop and
org.freedesktop.IBus.Panel.Extension.Gtk3.desktop.

Both have Name=Emoji Choice but one has

Exec=/usr/libexec/ibus-extension-gtk3
and the other
Exec=ibus emoji

The *desktop files are placed there when applications are installed.

dnf whatprovides /usr/share/applications/org.freedesktop.IBus.Panel.Emojier.desktop

shows it is provided by the ibus package as is

dnf whatprovides /usr/share/applications/org.freedesktop.IBus.Panel.Extension.Gtk3.desktop



I am talking about from within Krusader and thunar.  If I right
click on a file in krusader, then left click on Open With, I get
a list of possible programs to open the file with.  If I right
click on anything in the list, it is the same as left clicking
and the file opens in that program
