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

    Add a simple option to have the cue list release in the same time as the cue down time, or have a deduced dedicated time in the cue list tab under the cue list. This feature is a huge one, especially for those of us that busk and have to constantly change...
  • Update popup: Show Cue List Label

    • 0 Comments
    When working with multiple cue lists, knowing the label of the cue list becomes much more useful than the number of the list. Here is an example of what I'm after: Given the following setup: Cue lists: 11 - Car 12 - Truck 13 - Spaceship ...
  • New Magic Sheet Object Attribute: "Lock to Target"

    • 0 Comments
    Frequently on my magic sheets I will map a button to an EOS Target. Could be a channel, preset, group, or anything. I'll then need to move the target. It would be nice if I could do that without also having to re-target all the magic sheet object that...
