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

  • [Feature Request] Bump inhibits and cuelists

    • 2 Comments
    Hi Since I'm doing a lot of theatre but also live bands, I want to start using my GIO also for busking, so my GIO is not home alone half of the time. I would love to be able to flash my inhibits and cuelists. As far as I know, at the moment it is...
  • Color and Beam Palettes - By Type without Leader Channel

    • 0 Comments
    Hello, I would like to request that it become possible to have by-type palettes not attached to a leader channel. This would make it easier to store color data for a specific fixture type in your show files and to copy across show files without having...
  • Color flag on macro direct selects

    • 0 Comments
    The color flags for macros (red, green, dark) show a flag on the DS button, but white shows nothing. White should also be a flag.
  • Colored grouped cues inside PSD like Qlab does

    • 0 Comments
    Working in a multi user environment, being the house light designer, I wish it could be possible to group x number of cues inside a colored frame so that everyone can understand blocs of cues working together. I find that scenes attributes are not visual...
  • Change BPM manually and have "Learn_Time_Sample_BPM" apply for ALL active and nonactive effects I select

    • 0 Comments
    I'd like to be able to change the BPM and/or Rate of any effect, whether or not it is currently active. This would be extremely helpful for busking so I would be able to know the next Effect I use will match the current tempo. ( Photo from V3.2.5 B13...
  • Solo should override manual values

    • 0 Comments
    Hi, solo seems to work only on recorded values. If I press solo with manual values, they stay on stage
  • Live Moves Flags - (ignore colour live moves)

    • 0 Comments
    I feel as if Live Colour Moves are rather ubiquitous at this point in time while live Focus & Beam moves are sometimes an obvious red flag in your show file. There should be a way to "ignore" live colour moves and/or highlight Focus & Beam moves. I...
  • Augmented Tab Options - Create Pixel Map from...

    • 1 Comment
    Probably on the list already but would be nice if the "create pixelmap from Magic Sheet" and "create magic sheet from pixelmap" were located on Tab 3/9 respectively... Super powerful tool though! They're going to save me hours of pixelmap layouts...
  • A way to mark "Complete" with any referenced data

    • 1 Comment
    I find myself often enough updating references out of order and have no way of marking at the end of the day " I updated this preset". Currently after I update a preset I label it with an arbitrary symbol but then at some point I have to go back and update...
  • PixelMap Layers - include "stacking order" property

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    Hello It would be great if I could change the stacking order of a layer on the fly - I often have the need to fade between a number of different images, and since I am limited to 12 layers I have to do some messy trickery once I get past image 11 to...
