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

    When I press shift back I want to go backwards a cue 100% of the time, I never want to stop an existing fade. When doing rapid edits I frequently encounter situations where I want to go backwards a cue and press shift back, but it just pauses the fade...

    Duplicate of here . I want to query the absolute value of a param. Say I have a fixture with tilt 90, I can `Query Tilt 90` and have that fixture selected, great. But if I store that same tilt 90 value into FP 1, and `Query Tilt 90` it no longer works...

    Showing "Update" in the command history is not very useful, I would love to see what targets were actually updated. I want to know *what I updated*, to make sure I didn't update the wrong thing, and the only way to do that (after the fact), is to undo...

    It would be helpful for the Standard Colors in the color picker to be accessible from the command line with the syntax of Color 10/#, so 2700K could either be Color 10/1 or Color 10/2700, and 6500K would be either Color 10/39 or Color 10/6500. I prefer...

    Being able to edit multiple cue lists at once would make mutli cue list environments much easier to manage. At the moment changing the priority on 50 lists at once is a long task. At a push also being able to select multiple cue lists outside the Cue...

    This probably won’t be of use to many other situations Eos finds itself in, however in the TV studio situation I work this would be really useful! So let me explain the setup. 3 lighting galleries with Ion XE’s in. 7 studio spaces, all with different...

    Default Mark Time per channel in patch or at least per fixture type would be great as it would come in so handy when you work with scrollers and media servers / LEDs in the same show. That would be awesome!

    Hello, I would very much like a way to customize cuelists like being able to colorize a row(cue or part) to make it stand out. For example all cues triggered by Qlab could be purple, and timecode triggered cues could become red. The PSD is elegant and...

    I would love an MA-like feature where cue lists can auto-start, and auto-release when you bring the fader up and down. This could help in a number of busking situations, and also prevent inexperienced operators from having additional cue lists playing...
