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

    Allow users to input the photometric data (X/Y, wavelength, width) for each diode on an LED light. This would allow for spectrum control with spectrum tools but also would create a gammut the light could operate within on the color picker. The end goal...

    Whether you have a dedicated grandmaster or you have one assigned to a sub it would be nice to have a behavior that allows the blackout key to be in a "flash" or "manual" state where you only blackout while the key is held down instead of being a toggle...

  • Patch - Multicell Fixture: Provide the same functionality that was included in v2.8 and v2.9 with regards to patching multi-cell channels using non multi-cell fixture types

    This reduced functionality is not listed on the known bug list or mentioned on the current or previous build documents, so this appears to be working as intended. Example: {Patch} Channel 100 {Type} [Fixture Type A] (not a multicell fixture type...

    Duplicate of here . I'd love to open a separate live table and flexi it to only channels active from cue list 2 as opposed to cue list 1 or any other cue list. I couldn't find a way, and don't think it's possible, but maybe someone knows a trick....

    There used to be hyperlinks when printing to pdf, for example in the Utilization Report, which would take you directly to Presets, or Color Palettes. Now one has to scroll through to get to Presets. Could you please restore hyperlinks for those of us...

    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,

    Hi, if we have 10 focus palettes 1 thru 10 and focus palettes for FPE 901 thru 904, record focus palette next should suggest 11 instead if 905... I tried shift + next but not working

  • Patch Offset

    It would be nice to be able to define an offset in patch for various paramaters. Specificaly for pan tilt this would be super helpful. Imagine a fixture was hung 90° the wrong way, in patch you could set a pan offset of -90. Then pan 0 is where you expect...

    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.

    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...
