Description of the new feature / enhancement

Currently Power Rename is available from the RMB menu when right-clicking on a directory. 👍🏼

It would be very nice to also have it in the RMB menu when right-clicking the background of a directory in the file-list pane.

Scenario when this would be used?

When right-clicking in the background of a directory.

Please note that image resizer does not have a context menu on folder yet. I briefly looked into this but could not get it to work immediately. I might try again after the WiX stuff is merged.

Yeah I also tried to copy the PowerToysExt registry key to Directory\Background\ShellEx\.. but when I right-click Explorer just crashes and restarts. 😆

Same here 😄 Maybe @stefansjfw can get it to work.
