Default App Settings is a Linux application, which let's the user select which file types (defined by mime type) should by handled by default by which application following the XDG (freedesktop.org) standard for UNIX. You choose first the application, and then select one or more of the supported mime file types.
This is much more ergonomic than first choosing among hundreds of existing mime file types.
