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

    Sorry I can't remember if there's a proper term for "partial data" I'm referring to when only some of your channel selection is within a Group Palette or Preset instead of the Direct Select lighting up fully, it lights up as a gradient from darker to...

    In Patch when doing 1 Copy To 2, the Softkey options are Plus Show, Only Show, and Only Text. Only Text does copy the Label from Channel 1 to Channel 2, but it also copies all text in the Database section, as it should. We should have an additional Softkey...

    Hi. I'm working in a Theatre with multiple venues, all on EOS consoles in "Cue Only" Tracking mode. All programmers, myself included, are interested in using "Update Track Intensity Cue Only" in a cue-only console environment. This could be a big timesaver...

    The ability to view circuit information (trips, power consumption, curve, etc), from an OSC address, to avoid directly interfacing with dimmers during show. In a world where we are moving towards sustainability, I think energy monitoring and data is a...
