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

    In the hierarchy, if you have objects with a light-colored square (especially white) next to them, it can be very hard to see if that object is locked or has an invisible eye icon. Maybe those icons should be bigger so they are easier to see, or their...

    I love being able to edit cues in blind during productions but I almost exclusively use cue only while on blind. While in Live I frequently switch between tracking and cue only so using the cue only button is easy there. What im suggesting is having...

    Dear all It is a long debate about, if it should be possible to close tab 1 and 2. I would like to add the following arguments to promote, that the tab 1 and 2 should be able to close: - Sometimes, I have just Subs and no cue, so I don't need a...

    Hello! I personally find it frustrating, when marking through various groups of channels, to get the "lights active in mark range" error. I love that I can select a group of intelligent fixtures that has only a few lights that need to mark, hit my Mark...

  • Objects don't need a dimension both on the axis and at the object

    This is just my opinion, but I think having 2 duplicate X dimensions and 2 duplicate Y dimensions is unnecessary. I realize you sometimes may be too far away from the axes to see them, which is why there is the secondary dimensions not on the axis. For...

    You can indeed toggle Pan/Tilt inverts in Macros currently, but you currently cannot do this predictably! I.E. in the macro editor you cannot Type: [Invert_Tilt] [Enable] [Enter] and it only Enable, if this is performed on a fixture that already has...

    When in offline mode, it should (by default) not output anything, including OSC. I can see how having output would be desirable in many cases while offline programming, controlling integrations with third party, etc., however it seems unsafe and unexpected...

    When working in A3D it seems like sometimes it would be useful to toggle off all the lamps in A3D except what you are working on. So that it is easier to view the lamp you are working on, particularly with conventional focus
