This is a variant of a radial menu, first seen in an application in 1969. A beautiful variant, but a variant. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_menu

Does this (and/or the original) work like a proper pie menu, i.e. I can manipulate it with a drag, not just two clicks? And is the the active area really a slice of a pie and not just the circular icon (i.e. it allows be to drag beyond one of the icons, and it still works if I'm in its "shadow").

Edit: Just installed Path, apparently it doesn't…
