Hmmm, interesting. It works differently than thunar. Perhaps a bug report against xfdesktop?

As a workaround, if you go to the Desktop through thunar you can edit the properties of multiple files at the same time.

Even i tried fresh installation of XFCE in Arch linux under Qemu , and same bug.
Through Thunar it's working but it's hard to open thunar for a simple Properties every time.

Should i open a bug report and where to ?
