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

  • Revamp the merge-system

    • 0 Comments
    Merging things from one showfile into another always requires me to open the showfile I want to merge from, go through the different lists and write down what I want to merge. Then go back to the current showfile and check if the target-spots are availiable...
  • @Level as Intensity Palettes

    • 1 Comment
    It would be nice if @ Level could be more powerful and reference an intensity palette for more diverse rigs. Most of the time each type of fixture has its own sweet spot for a starting intensity and having it set somewhere for very quick recall would...
