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

    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.

    Right now, when I copy channels, groups, etc. to a new magic sheet, it simply changes the Target values to the next available number, but I can't think of a scenario where I want that. 9/10 times I want to copy those objects with the same target to a...

    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...

    Hello, I would like to request that it become possible to have by-type palettes not attached to a leader channel. This would make it easier to store color data for a specific fixture type in your show files and to copy across show files without having...

    Hi, I wanted to create a live tab view to show only channels with discrete times. If i hit timing display button or about + time, all live tabs are affected, and it's impossible to let just one tab with times displayed on channels. Maybe it could be better...

    Reordering the Effect Type Menu to reflect the types. In an idea world this would have some headings etc but just moving these around would make explaining effect types easier.

    It would helpful that there is a space between "L" and the Cue List number like on other fader types, e.g. "L 1 Main" instead of "L1 Main" All other fader follows the rule <fader type><space><number> Parsing the fader label with OSC output will become...

    As of right now, Eos only offers a "MIDI TC Toggle" control for macros, making it difficult to be sure whether you are enabling or disabling it in a semi-automated environment. Adding definitive "MIDI TC On" and "MIDI TC Off" options would simplify this...

    If one is touring or a play comes to your venue but was built on another rigg it´s nice to just unpatch your original show, change fixture types to the ones that are actually used and patch them in. What happens at that point is that all your pallette...

    Add tint tools to custom encoder map selectable options. And maybe... the logic is less solid... but also add the ESD rate, scale etc etc to custom encoder options, this should maybe open up the ESD when you start turning one of these?
