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

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to make software requests, but I have one regarding A3d and Snapshots. When recording a Snapshot of the A3d tab, it would be great to select/deselect camera position and lighting options. For example, I would...

    From what I can tell, there is no current way to use macros to set the live/blind channel display format to a known state, without using snapshots or other trickery. There is a "/eos/key/spreadsheet" command listed in the manual, but it seems to error...

    The current system for adjustment of the beam edge of fixtures in A3D patch is kinda clunky and it would be great if instead of a field to enter the sharpness of the beam edge there was a slider so you could virtually run the barrel of fixtures

    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...

    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...

    What if Query Query acted like select active, so it would filter to non-sub channels. IE: Query Query @ full would grab all chans at full filtering out the chans getting their value from a submaster.

    It would be great for third-party applications to be able to obtain the main general parameters of Eos in OSC, including language and library version. For example, in the same format as the version: eos/get/language and eos/get/library . Thanks!
