Get file properties via dbus command

[Ahmad Ismail]

Suppose I have file like /home/ismail/Desktop/file.txt or, file:///
home/ismail/Desktop/file.txt

I want to see it's properties using cli.

What command shall I use?

How to get the StartupId and plug it to

$ dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.FileManager1
/org/freedesktop/FileManager1
org.freedesktop.FileManager1.ShowItemProperties
