It won’t show up there because the files have NoDisplay set to true, which hides them from the desktop app view, but they still show up in other places. Here’s Nautilus’ open with dialogue (where I noticed this):
Okay but that would mean you have to open /etc/share/applications in a file explorer which you - usually - don’t really do. Or maybe I’m just too much of a terminal guy to do it.
They says it’s freedesktop standard, and gnome is at fault for not implementing the standard properly. I don’t have this issue in KDE. I don’t understand what it meant different files are supported by different plugins, but maybe internals depend on that structure.
Anyway gnome should be supporting that standard everywhere in all their apps
I honestly agree with the GTK devs here. The app chooser is what meant by the spec and it should show all the apps available to the user. And if KDE respects NoDisplay in the app chooser, but still shows it if the MimeType matches, then I think that’s an even more conjectural reading of the spec.

This isn’t a directory, it’s the list of apps that show up when you right click a file and select ‘Open With’.
