Radian is a simple radial application launcher. The interface is triggered by a continuous right-click and is divided into four slices. Each slice can be configured differently, currently supporting the following modes:
- Custom – the slice will contain shortcuts manually dragged from existing shortcuts or files (from the Quick-Launch, Desktop, Start-Menu, Folder, etc…)
- Quick Launch – shortcuts from Windows’ Quick-Launch
- Desktop – shortcut from Windows’ Desktop
- Recent Docs – recently opened documents
The right-click trigger resembles the right-click mechanism on many hand-held devices, allowing you to access the menu quickly without needing to scroll to a certain area on your screen. The menu can be loaded by right-clicking and holding anywhere on the screen. A special effort was made to make sure this feature doesn’t get in the way of normal right-click usage.
The project is currently in it’s early beta stages, and as it evolves I’ll be adding more features and fixing different issues that arise.
A powerful tool for viewing, editing and managing system resources & settings, consolidating functionality that normally requires numerous tools into a single interface designed to make these tasks easier than ever. An emphasis has been placed on batch processing, filtering, and easy visual identification of items using distinctive icons.
