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'd like to be able to change the BPM and/or Rate of any effect, whether or not it is currently active. This would be extremely helpful for busking so I would be able to know the next Effect I use will match the current tempo. ( Photo from V3.2.5 B13...

    When adding channels to a running effect in a subsequent cue (e.g., Cue 1: Ch 1-5; Cue 2: Ch 1-5 + 10-11), the effect for the entire channel set restarts instantly. This causes a visible snap in 0 seconds, ignoring the effect's entry time. New channels...

    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!

    Please hide, or give us the option to hide, the encoder bar on Ion and Nomad (without programming wing). On the Ion it is unnecessary because it has the encoders displayed on the built-in LCD. On Nomad it is unnecessary because there are no encoders....

    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, it would be convenient to get different augmented snapshots with different augmented visible elements (for exemple, only stage and pipes for the working time, then the whole venue for the show time, or get snapshots for different sets)

    Submasters should be able to contain timing information, that is played back realtive to the submasters intensity. Exypanding this idea, palettes and presets could hold timing information as well.
