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

    Eos can detect open and close as shown by sub bump, it holds the bump down on contact close, and releases on contact open. I would like to be able to trigger Macro x on contact close, and Macro y on contact open.

    Zoom to selection is only kinda somewhat useful: Most of the time I care more about what's coming out of the light than the fixture itself. A zoom to selection + beam (showing you both the fixture and the beam) would be much more useful. Mac, b...

    The only highlight on the PSD display is the currently live cue. It would be useful, especially where there are links/loops etc to also indicate on the PSD which cue will run when GO is hit. This functionality exists in, for example, Qlab, and it's a...

    Group 0.1 should not be the same as group 0.10. If I'm using the 0.# system to record groups based on areas, the system breaks down when I have more than 9 areas, since area 1 and area 10 need to store into the same group. Just like in software, version...

    Whenever a channel is added to or moved in patch, it can affect Group selections. It would be a helpful convenience thing to be able to designate a group as a set range, no matter what happens in Patch. I usually use Groups as Cue List filters, so I...
