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

    Tab 30 should have an option to follow current device user, or a specific user. IE so the designer can see the programmer's history while being in their own user. Copied from this 5 year old forum post .

    Could Shift Query work to repost the last query you created into the command line?
  • Undo Sneak

    • 4 Comments
    When I need to use undo there is often a big jump in values. Sometimes, when I’m on a generator, that spike can cause a rev or sharp decrease. It would be nice to have a setting that gradually goes back when using undo.
  • 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,
  • Ability to make PSDs non-interactive by Tab per User
