So for Adobe apps, for which this would be very useful, they install by default as Adobe <appname> <year>, i.e. "Adobe Photoshop 2023". I have several revisions installed for most of them for various reasons. When I attempt to add a shortcut from pie-menu.com, it tells me "Application adobe photoshop is not installed on your computer" :(

Yes. We’re having some issues with Adobe apps on some Macs. We hope to have a fix out for that soon!
I've petitioned Adobe to support pie menus in their products, but it's fallen on deaf ears.

Here's a 12-year-old thread about “Crowd funding project: Marking menus for Photoshop and other software” that I recently ran across, and wrote a reply to, providing more information and links, and correcting some old misinformation.

Crowd funding project: Marking menus for Photoshop and other software

Recently I was telling a buddy of mine about how I hate digging through the standard menus in some software like Photoshop. In Maya or Zbrush I am used to creating either marking menus or custom palettes that allow me to assign multiple related commands to one hotkey. This is useful for organization and also more efficient than having one command assigned to one hotkey. He mentioned that he made an attempt to address this for Illustrator and wanted to expand the Idea to work with any software. He wants to generate $1000 to hire a programmer to help with the stuff that is outside his scope of knowledge. I figured there are probably others out there like us and I might find some like minded people here. Here is his pitch: http://www.indiegogo.com/unipie

Maybe people would like to pitch in ideas or gui designs too?
