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

    Coming from Light Jockey and Onyx, I find the solo function really useful. I was really surprised when I took the Eos class and asked about it and found out it doesn’t exist. It seems like a super simple feature to implement.

    When calling “Channel X Color 3/201” it woild be cool to be able to add “Spectral”, “Hybrid” or “Brightest” to the command. Sometimes you don’t have the gel picker open and want to quickly call a gel, and this would allow me to specify what type of mix...

    I like to use screenshots of the magic sheets as a plot for the gaffer. The only problem is that the resolution is kind of low and it looks a little fuzzy, especially on some of the numbers. It would be nice to get higher resolution images.

    Hi, Using partitions can get frustrating when your channel count is quite large and out of number order. (I'm using channel numbers into 5 digits.) I would like a page dedicated to Partitions a la the Groups Display page and I'd like to be able to...

    It would be very helpful if we could use the Windows-style commands Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V to copy text in lists like for example the Cue list.
