Patrick, who has the Krita logo overlaid on him, and Man Ray have a back and forward pointing out that desktop files can have multiple file types associated with a programme by setting the mime type field. It ends with Man Ray insisting on Krita making one desktop file, but instead shows a list of desktop files with the format org.kde.krita.format.desktop.

I would like to see what are differences in content for thoose different desktop files. Is there any difference in launch options? Do they contain mimetype feilds? It seems like specification explicitly states it(Nodisplay) being useful for mime types so it probably is expected feature within the spec. Also spec says nodisplay should hide from "menus" which i'm not sure if its just app launcher or all menus

The argument I see all over here (from kde side) is that support for mimetypes are optional plugins, and within the spec making multiple desktop entries is the only choice when doing so.
