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

  • Magic Sheet SVG Symbol

    • 0 Comments
    Is there any plans to improve the SVG Symbols system to be more finely controlled? There has been a number of requests over the years for this but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of official comment on these things ever coming. For reference...
  • Playback Go Button(s) adjustable debounce to reduce unintended double-taps

    • 5 Comments
    A suggestion posed to us by a student joining our EOS training classes: It might prove helpful to allow the end user to select a waiting time between one hit of the GO button, and before next press would register. Depending on the speed of cue triggering...

  • Save showfile to multiple paths with one command

    • 2 Comments
    I'd like a setting in shell or setup that allows me to specify multiple save targets, then a keystroke that simultaneously saves a version of my showfile to multiple targets (ie, on an Ion to specify to save it to the regular showfile archive and simultaneously...

  • User Default Option for Port Offset vs Absolute

    • 3 Comments
    I don’t understand why etc seems to default to absolute addresses in patch. I don’t understand who uses absolute addresses, unless they really hate typing “/“. Can we make port offset the default in patch, or at least give us the option to choose which...

  • Cue Time Fader

    • 1 Comment
    A fader like the Manual Time Fader but for cues. This would be like the "Exec Time" fader from MA. There would be an option in cue list settings for a cue list to "listen" to the Fader for timing. Would be useful for busking when you could have a cue...
  • Multi Console Messaging

    • 1 Comment
    It would be great if you could send messages between users in multi console set ups. This would be bennifitial for environments where our programmers cannot speak and would mean we wouldn't need to set up alternative forms of communication.
  • Show Notes Tab

    • 0 Comments
    In searching through the request archives on this forum, this seems to have been suggested 8 years ago and Anne responded that it would be implemented back in 2.4, but it never was. I'm floating the idea back to the top. This would be really useful to...
