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

    Hello, This is a request from a trainee. They are running a show where cues are triggered by a mixture of manual Go presses, and OSC triggers from automation, and are finding it irritating that their alert times are only running if the cue is triggered...

    It's very easy to miss broken marks when their emergency marking happens in a cue that already has a mark flag on it. It would be great if emergency marks could always be attention grabbing in the cue list, instead of only when there isn't already a mark...

    Maybe this could be a user-level setting rather than a global change, but I struggle with the channel views changing focus while I'm building a channel selection. Usually (with some exceptions) while building a channel selection when [+] or [Thru] is...

    When creating a new fixture, I would love to have the ability to copy and paste the lamp controls from an existing fixture. This would be extremely helpful in trying out new modes in existing lights, or new lights in the same product line.

    Its great we can have percentages on time and delay but being able to fan say, [Group] [1] [Delay] [/] [100] [Thru] [0] [Enter]. At the moment obviously you can fan absolute delay and time but we cant on percentage. This'll make discrete timing revolutionary...

    Hi everyone, There’s something I’ve suggested before (with no luck so far – ETC France doesn’t really get the point…). I’d love to have a new window dedicated to output colorimetry . Once my show is programmed, I want to be able to create output...
