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

  • Enable Grandmaster functionality to the large faders on the Ion XE

    • 0 Comments
    I almost never use multiple cue lists in my small theater and I'd wager I'm not the only one. Being able to map the large faders as GMs rather than sacrificing on of my on board faders would be great,
  • Browser Favorite/Recent Locations

    • 0 Comments
    I frequently save and open show files from a cloud storage location on my computer. To get to this location in Eos I have to click through: File>Open>Macintosh HD>Users>Z>Library>CloudStorage>Dropbox>Z>Shows>...... It'd be great if there were a faster...
  • .csv export/import of Macro contents

    • 2 Comments
    Macros are one of the cornerstones when working with eos and with increasing demands for automation on Shows the current workflow starts to lag behind when it comes to editing, copy/pasting, Incrementing values across a range of macros. Implementing...
  • Cue Alert Time on Magic Sheets

    • 0 Comments
    I'd love to be able to put the alert time both as a field on my Active or Pending Cue magic sheet items, as well as an object in itself. Maybe the object could link to a cuelist, and it would show the next cue's alert time? Thanks!
  • Drag tabs to new frames

    • 2 Comments
    Re-arranging the tabs into new frames/window is a pain. A simple click/tap and drag to the new frame would make re-arranging your content very fast. Want your Augment3d with all your current settings in the other window, just drag that tab to the frame...
  • Assign different macros to button press and release

    • 0 Comments
    I have come to this requirement when I tried to mimic bump button behavior for multiple actions. My idea was to set multiple faders/subs on key press and go back on release.
  • Modernise Nomad application for High-DPI displays

    • 0 Comments
    Currently, Nomad is effectively designed for a maximum of 100% UI scaling on a 1080p display. When Windows display scaling is set above 100% (such as 125% or 150%), parts of the UI extend beyond the screen edges and do not scale down to fit within the...
  • Change opacity of text on direct select buttons so just icons can be visible

    • 0 Comments
    This would be a setting for apex devices where you select what you want on your smart direct select buttons. I find it annoying that I have to remove the text or have text overlaying the images when I could just set the text opacity to be 0 percent so...
  • Alphabetical Ordering on open and merge windows selection tiles

    • 0 Comments
    At present the selection tiles of what to open/merge into shows is in a seemingly random order. Please could these be in alphabetical order reading left to right, top to bottom? At present we're having to do quite a bit of hunting to find the right key...
  • Various Scene Colors

    • 0 Comments
    Would love to see more customization when it comes to scenes in an EOS Q-stack. Running a musical right now, and the designer is requesting scene breaks for both top of scene and beginnings of songs. Would be nice to have various colors to make the...
