Description ilia 2016-07-22 12:16:19 UTC 
Use case:
User goes to Project Properties -> Build and selects "Modify PATH variable"
At that point it's not clear: how to modify? How is it modified right now?

Solution:
Add a "..." button to the property sheet, which opens a Path Variable Editor.

Comment 3 Alexander Pepin 2016-09-13 12:13:38 UTC 
IMO it would be better to change the button name in Tools-Options-C/C++ from "$PATH" to "Paths".
