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

    It would be very helpful to have a Notes Column, as we have in the PSD, for all Record Target Types. Presets, Palettes, Macros, Effects, Snapshots, Magic Sheets. If we have a unique tab to manage a Record Target Type, it would be great to have a Notes...

    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...

    For example, was cue 2/2 triggered by a user pressing go, show control via list 1/ or 2/, OSC input, etc. It might be encoded in the data itself, but it isn't human readable.

    I spend an awful lot of time hunting down blank, useless channels in Patch and deleting them. It would be great to have a cleanup function that automatically gets rid of channels in patch with no address, no profile, and no data in the show file.

    When using the console in offline mode, it is easy to forget about it afterwards, especially if auto start is configured and it automatically selects offline because is was the last selected option. The "Offline" warning in the bottom right corner should...

    I know it would probably be hard to do but I think something that would be really cool and convenient for designers would be an implementation of the existing concert software into EOS so you wouldn't have to download and switch between two different...

    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.
