Does anyone know how to remove the duplicate konsole entries?
I was just trying to directly open a directory into the terminal from the file explorer gui
This a new thing that I saw once, and then it disappeared to be replaced with the previous dialog box under Debian 14 (Testing), for which I’m happy, because it’s much more functional than the puzzling one seen in that screenshot.
I can’t tell exactly when this appeared or disappeared, but I have Plasma 6.5.4 and Dolphin 25.04.3 displaying this now:
you should have full control over this in settings > file associations
you can add or delete items that appear in the “open with…” context menu.
the first item in the sort order is the default action and the rest fall under the “open with..” menu.

Right-click the file you wish to open.
Select Properties.
Select Change.

For me it was already in Plasma 5 that way (Kubuntu back at that time).
To see, especially if you click “Show all installed Applications” for example “Konqueror” six times, “Discover” five times, “KWalletManager” (and many others) at least two times without a visible distinction in that Application chooser makes no sense to me.
But I had to use that thing (thankfully) not that many times and for that reason never complained.
So, is this really just a problem with file open associations?
If OP has multiple versions of an application show up in the “Choose Application” dialog (which is a layer “above” the actual association dialog), I’d think they somehow actually have multiple versions of those applications installed or otherwise broken .desktop files sitting around on their system.
From what I (maybe) figured out if you have one application already set as default (or even as a possible option only) for e.g. five different file types the same application shows up five times in that application chooser and it shouldn’t.
At least on my system (Plasma 6.5.4) I can’t figure out a way to reproduce this. The only application that shows up twice is my fault because I got an extra .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ which I forgot about.
