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

  • New Flexi states - Selected By User X, Selected by other users

    • 0 Comments
    A new flexi state that would allow you to see what channels a specific other user has selected. A further enhancement would be the ability to see what channels all other users, that are not your user, have currently selected.
  • Color Palettes - Manually Override Color Swatch

    • 6 Comments
    I'd love the ability to override the color swatch that displays in direct selects for color palettes. Either choosing a leader channel, or the ability to choose your own RGB value. I have some palettes that choose color wheel chips on movers and those...
  • Auto-Palettes

    Hej, today I was talking to a Hog-Operator and he brought up Auto-Palettes. I don't miss them that much but sometimes they could come in handy. This was a thing years ago in the forum (there's a post Anne was involded to) but nothing happened since...

    Will there be an option to set a password for each user in the future, that will be asked for when changing to the user, unlocking and booting the console?
  • Channel break separator for multi-parameter fixtures in Table view.

    • 2 Comments
    One minor "bug" for me has always been with multi-parameter fixtures when viewing channels in "Patched" Flexi-mode. For normal tombstones, if you patch channels 1 thru 5 and then your next channel is 11, there is a divisible line break making it obvious...
  • Command Line toggle between top/bottom of screen

    • 1 Comment
    Often I'm looking over screens/monitors towards the stage while working and not necessarily at the keyboard- however I do have to move my head down and up to glance at the command line at the bottom of the screen. It'd be cool if on a screen-by-screen...
  • Auto-populate Virtual Hue/Sat parameters on Fixtures with 1931 CIE x y Profiles

    • 2 Comments
    There were a ton of feature requests to connect a fixture's native x y values to the color picker over the past few years and I'm so happy that finally happened within the past year or so (I think v3.0 and up?). However, I believe the color engine's capabilities...

  • Magic Sheet Increment Selected

    • 8 Comments
    In Magic Sheets, it would be great to be able to grab a group of items and increment their numbering by a specified number. (Similar to the way Lightwright will let us put "+10" in the channel column to add ten to a selected set of rows. This would...
  • Preview function improvement

    • 0 Comments
    I've worked with Prego in the past and really liked the preview feature that you can see what channels are comming in the next cue when you had your channels set to "Active" (in Prego it was called "Packed"). Right now when preview enabled you cannot...
