[aminya]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

It would be nice to have a context menu button to the current folder to the Windows PATH.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

This is usually a one-shot task, and I think such features would just clutter-up PowerToys. You can also open an elevated cmd and enter: setx /M PATH "%PATH%;C:\myfolder\bin"

I think it is a powerful idea. Implementation is key

One day you will die in Idea-New PowerToy labels 🙃

Happy to work with community to get ideas built but we only have so many resources and right now we're focusing on other things. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/wiki/Version-1.0-Strategy is what we are focusing on

I'm not very familiar with this, but what about a batch file "add to PATH.bat" in the shell:sendto folder? Items in this folder use the location at run-time (in this case: right-click on folder) as a parameter.
