It already has a paraellel in that when you select multiple files the set
file type entry shows the type of the first file, and pressing return in it
sets applies that type to the entire selection.

For access details ghouse of the first in the selection would be displayed
and pressing ok would apply those details to the entire selection.

The top left most selected file in the filer window using the current sorting
option.
