Description

i consider the Properties option as one of the functionalities that i use the most in any file manager that i have, as i often use it to check the file size of multiple files and folders quite often. currently, the button is only shown for opening in only one file at a time, and only in the menu from the button besides the file icon.

i think it would be a huge improvement to make all of these options also available on the menu in the toolbar at the top of the screen. :3
to avoid bugs right away, remember about looking at the Copy Path behavior for multiple files, as well as individual properties for the Properties dialog (e.g different file names) ^w^

Research direction
Start by tracing the toolbar menu for multiple selected files and compare it with the per-file options menu. Check the existing Copy Path behavior for multiple files and the Properties dialog for individual names and sizes; done means the requested options are available from the toolbar without breaking those behaviors.
