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

    When selecting a fixture profile, there are currently options to filter by "Show", "Manufacturer", and "Search". It would be great if there was another tile called "Patched" to filter the "Show' list of tile to fixtures that are patched in the showfile...

    Now that we have icons, would be great to be able to copy Icons. [Beam Palette] [1] [Copy To] brings up a softkey to only copy labels. Can we have a 2nd soft key for Icon to copy the icon only over to other beam palettes?

    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...

    Without reading the manual (and even when you do) the word "Trail" in the context of Eos effects is very easy to misunderstand. Almost everybody seems to understand this word as the trailing (comet effect) of an effect. "Trail" does however control how...
