[BUG] Submaster Sneak Time Cannot Accept Delay

This is currently working as designed, so this post is a feature request.

If you still think this would be a helpful addition to the Eos software, please head over to the Feature Request forum and post it there so the product management team can have a look.

Thank you.

From the 3.2.0 release notes:

> Sneak commands accept [Delay] in their execution

From the 3.2.0 manual page 268:

> The following examples illustrate the various methods of using the sneak command:

...

> [Sub] [4] [At] [5] [0] [Sneak] [2] [Enter] - selects submaster 4 and sneaks it to 50% in 2
seconds

Those two pieces of information make it appear as though all possible uses of the sneak command support delays.

Considering submasters support [Time] to adjust their fade duration, perhaps `Sub 1 @ 5 Sneak 2` should be removed. I can't sneak to a cue either. But I can go to a cue with a delay.

If you don't add a target when using a Time command on a sub it will not move the sub but rather assign a time to the sub's Up/Dwell/Down properties. This is why the Sneak syntax exists, it's the consistent syntax of doing things over time.

If there are other syntaxes to be eplained please let us know, otherwise i consider this thread closed. Thank you.

Right, but it is not consistent because only sometimes does it accept `delay`.
