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

    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...

    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...

    If the user put a piece of paper behind the shutter assembly of a leko at their desk and backlit the paper from where the lamp would go, perhaps a camera or webcam could be pointed at the 3" aperture of the shutter assembly and, with the contrast boosted...

    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...

  • Feature Request: Ability to Customize CSV export of patch and correction for multicell fixtures in CSV

    I use the CSV export of the patch to make fixture labels these days. It would be lovely to be able to choose which fields are exported in the CSV (for example, I only use Channel, Address, Type and Notes). Also, it would be useful to be able to export...

    We use protected submasters to control our fixed circuits . This means that these channels from the submasters are always visible in the channel overview , even though we don't want to see them there . It would be great if we could simply hide the protected...

    Ability to make an 'instance' of a cue, to set and update multiple cues based off the instance at once. Would be useful for blackout cues - if a light is updated to turn on backstage, updating one cue and having Eos handle updating the rest would save...

    Not sure if this is a thing already but would love it if Shift +% or Shift -% would only add/minus half of your set level. Dosn't seem to be a way that i know of. Thanks :)

    Make it easier to change colors in the magic sheet. Two suggestions: Change the top row of color selection to be "white," "blacK" and the last six colors I chose manually. Use the ML color picker to choose a color (including the swatch books, so...
