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

  • Patch Cleanup

    • 0 Comments
    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.
  • CopyTo multiple targets

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great if it was possible to copy to multiple targets. For example [Cue 1] [CopyTo] [5]+[8] All to often I find myself having to go to a cue and record to multiple targets, because CopyTo does not work in that regard.
  • Show macro label when fader buttons are assigned as macros

    • 1 Comment
    When I set a fader button to be a macro trigger, it shows the macro number on the screen. I think it’d be really useful if the macro’s label shows on the screen instead.
  • Swap Values Softkey

    • 0 Comments
    It'd be nice to have a "swap values" softkey where we could select two fixtures and have all of the parameter values from one apply to the other, and vice-versa. This is something that I am asked to do a lot, and the current macro-based way of doing it...
  • Patch Channel at Universe / - should show that universe address space

    • 1 Comment
    While in patch with a fixture selected, in the center it shows the universe utilization, it would be helpful if when I timed in Channel 2 Address 3/ it would them change the universe utilization to that specified universe

  • Timestamp on Command History Tab [Tab 30] and Undo

    • 1 Comment
    Would be nice to have a reference of when a change was made for Command History and Undo.
  • Mouse/touch-driven interactive control on Encoder pages

    • 0 Comments
    It would be great if it was possible to adjust parameters on the encoder view in a similar manner to the ML Controls pop-up (e.g. hover over a parameter and use the scroll wheel to adjust the value) or perhaps enable a click-and-drag behaviour on the...

  • Expanded and clearer layout for OSC IP addresses & multiple port implementation

    • 0 Comments
    Hello, Is it possible to look at the layout for OSC IPs in Show Control/OSC in Setup? We are now in a world where rather than using broadcast, we're targeting specific IPs of multiple machines (a main and backup QLab, as well as a main and backup...
