Not sure what to do with

$ grep leafpad /home/tony/.config/mimeapps.list
application/ms-tnef=userapp-leafpad-8F3W0V.desktop;
application/octet-stream=userapp-leafpad-8F3W0V.desktop;libreoffice6.0-writer.desktop;userapp-OpenSmartSuite-882S5V.desktop;
application/vnd.kde.kxmlguirc=userapp-leafpad-JVY77Y.desktop;
application/x-pagemaker=userapp-leafpad-JVY77Y.desktop;
application/x-perl=userapp-leafpad-JVY77Y.desktop;magic-leafpad.desktop;
application/x-shellscript=userapp-leafpad-8F3W0V.desktop;magic-leafpad.desktop;
application/x-wine-extension-key=magic-leafpad.desktop;
application/xml=userapp-leafpad-8F3W0V.desktop;

There is only one
