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

    Hello, I would love to be able to record groups while patching. In most cases we patch groups of lights in an order that we would eventually make groups. During patching the channel selection is already in the command line and could very quickly be...

    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...

    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...

    For example, a button that alternates between two commands. You could then specify an icon for each command. Super useful for simple OSC RX Enable/Disable commands and similar functions. The copying macros around or cuelist toggle workarounds are just...

    It would be great to be able to open two or more separate instances of Eos, particularly when using Nomad software, in order to compare different show files without having to merge them.

    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...

  • Show Update Target in Command History

    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...

    Hej Folks, I would like to run an FX on a couple of Movinglights, freeze them at a specific point and record that look as a preset or palette. Right now it will record the position data from which the lights started their effect if I do so. Make Absolute...

    There should a way to disable the screensaver. The screensaver should dim the screen instead of changing the color scheme. It should possible to set the timeout and dim level for all internal and external screens attached to the console.

    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...
