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

    Being able to assign effects to tempo masters. For example I tap on tempo master 1, an int-fx switches light on and off in time, an focus-fx moves in quarter of that time. https://community.etcconnect.com/control_consoles/f/what-s-your-idea/27985/live...

    I know you guys cant pass up the opportunity to 1 up Act Lighting! ;) If this is a little performance intensive, an option in the graphics menu would suffice, and maybe just include it in the PC version of the software. Really like the tool so far, very...

    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...

    I do a lot of copying and pasting of MS objects. I keep having to select an object and mouse over to the target ID field to change it. It would save a lot of time if selecting an object and then typing a number on the keypad would automatically change...

    I would like to specify a jpg to be used as a drop. It would look like a curtain in terms of manipulation but show a jpg that would have it's intensity and color modified by the lights shining on it.

    I'd love the ability to copy and paste commands in the macro editor window. From within the same macro, and from another macro to another macro. I'd like to be able to learn a macro and copy those functions into another much larger macro.

    Currently (v3.2.9), the CIA does not change when the Trace keyword is added or not. Using Update Trace, I would find it helpful to know which cues will be updated, with multiples lines if several cues are concerned.
