Feature and improvement suggestions

Feedback from users like you help us shape and improve Eos for all productions. We receive a large number of feature requests and suggestions from many sources, including this forum. Your comments and votes help us understand which features you’re passionate about, but there are many additional factors which inform development prioritization for any given release.

The most helpful information you can provide us when commenting on issues is how a particular suggestion would help you. If you describe your use-case and how the suggested change would benefit your work, it lets us gain a much deeper understanding of the need behind the suggestion. Suggestions often have an impact on what we work on, even if we ultimately choose not to implement a suggestion exactly as it’s described. Our ultimate goal is to understand what you and all users need and to create solutions that meet those needs. Occasionally, that’ll mean implementing a suggestion as described, but it usually means working to understand the need behind the suggestion and how we can meet that need for as many users as possible.

While we endeavor to update and respond to popular suggestions, the volume we receive means there will be occasions when we can’t provide an update or response in a timely manner. For bugs and show-critical issues, please use our standard forums and support structures: https://www.etcconnect.com/Contact/Technical-Support.aspx

    I've saw requests in the past for Wrap Text in MS in the past, and I know you can currently do it by copying wrapped text from a text editor (nomad); so this may have already been discussed.It would be helpful if there was a checkbox option for each Text...

  • Apex Soft Keys - Option to remove the SoftKeys Menu from the Haptic screen to allow for more pixels to be utilised

    As the Softkey menu is available on the main screen as well. Would it be possible to create an option to disable the softkey menu on the smaller Haptic screen so more Direct Selects or Magic Sheet Pixel space is available?
  • Flexi view to be able to reference a query command

    • 0 Comments
    It would be handy if in flexi, you could add a query string that constantly updates as you step through cues. Rather than just showing the standard options of active, patch, manual etc... It would be handy to show channels in a query such as: Dark moves...
  • Record Effects into Palettes, like Presets do

    • 1 Comment
    That's what it is. If you're running an Intensity Effect over the fixtures that should be recorded into the Intensity Palette. I want all the data that's contributing to this live look when I record the Palette. This would make it easier to busk since...
