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

    Macro command `Display_Non_Manual_Level` does not affect magic sheets, but it would be very useful if it did.

    As a (frightfully common) example, haze is run from a submaster with an effect. I'll put the sub up and forget about it and off we'll go cueing. Hours later we'll get to the cue with the simple request "and here all the effects will stop." Easy enough;...

    I find the file explorer built into EOS to be a bit clunky and to lack the view and sorting features of the native Mac or windows file explorer. Can we have the option to use the built in explorer instead? Thanks!

    Hello, Recording fader moves is a staple of time-coded light design and Eos can't record them. It's absolutely impossible in this software. The problem is that it's an event list. That the biggest problem. It needs to be a timeline with x and y, not...

    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.

    It would be really helpful as a designer to print my magic sheet out on paper and use that to set lights or in lighting documentation. I use the printout to hang, focus, and address fixtures and easily have something to tell me where in space a light...

    The ability to select a fixture and adjust it's color configuration by mixing adjusting to true white. Basically a reverse engineering of putting in a color profile and using the color picker to get white, instead you mix white and adjust the color profile...
