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

    By default the bump button flashes an inhibitive sub to zero. Please add an option for it to flash to 100%. This could be an additional choice in the fader options. This could also function as a flash to zero for additive subs. Alternatively or additionally...

    Similar to this request , but for the channel view. I'm often frustrated when I set up my tombstone view so that I can see everything, but then it scrolls down so I can only see the bottom row. Either make it not scroll beyond the last channel or let...

    There is a startup Macro for desk boot, but you can't assign a Macro to be triggered when opening your file. We have some startup functions we need to run when you open/switch files throughout the day but this can't be done via Startup Macro.

    I would love to see an expansion on Auto Mark to make it, in general, more than an all-or-nothing tool. Obviously I would love it on a list by list basis ( https://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/eos-family-consoles/i/feature-requests/automark...

    Currently this selection is possible by changing Flexi modes to Cells Off and pressing {Select Active} but it would be nice to be able to make a quick selection without changing Flexi modes with the command {Select Active} {-} {.} (select active minus...

    Currently (b315) when picking a gobo from a section such as Rosco > Steel gobos the gobo catalog resets to Ablelite . Likewise if I go into patch to change an existing gobo the Abellite catalogue is always shown. It would be better if the display showed...

    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...

    I'm a Film & TV programmer and I'm constantly making magic sheet lighting plots and exporting them to send to my gaffer. As far as I know there's two options for exporting these sheets. One in right clicking the magic sheet tab and saving a screenshot...

    With the more widespread use of Icons throughout EOS, it would be great to have a dedicated Media Browser Tab. I have found it really difficult to do things like delete old Icons and such as the location to do that is quite strange. A single tab that...
