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

  • magic sheet: button fill color link to target groups

    • 0 Comments
    Hi guys, At the moment, it is only possible to link a button to fill in color to a target channel but not to a target group in a magic sheet. It would be nice if this could be made possible. I suggest the intensity or the value of the color filling...
  • Deactivate Cues

    • 6 Comments
    It would be nice to be able to deactivate cues in a cuelist. Sometimes certain cues are not needed for every performance of a show. Or a designer decides to delete a cue during rehearsals and then later realizes, that it was a mistake. The current solution...
  • Flexi: Group

    • 0 Comments
    While flexi view channels is very useful, I feel that it can be a little cumbersome to setup and change. I think it would be extremely useful to have a “group” flexi state that references a group that you can set on a per user basis in user settings...
  • A3D - Ability to use Copy To on A3D fixture position information

    • 1 Comment
    It would be great to be able to copy the position of one lamp to another, to speed up tasks such as creating a second lamp for a twofer, or orientating groups of lamps that share many position and orientation points.
  • MS Apply Target to Grouped Objects and/or More than 6 Fields for MS Objects

    It would be great to be able to assign more than 6 Fields to a Magic Sheet Object. Target ID, Intens, Color, Focus, Beam, Next Move, Last Move, and Status makes 8 Fields. So my current workaround is to have multiple Magic Sheet Objects with the same Target...

  • Tags (for everything, but at least for palettes)

    This would be a great organizational tool. Allowing to quickly filter lists. Would also work great in combination with the search function. It would also open new possibilities when creating macros.
