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

  • Pixel Mapping- Copy and Paste, Groups, scaling

    • 1 Comment
    I would really like to be able to: Copy and paste a pixel pattern then assign a different channel or series of channel numbers to it. Scale a fixture without it adding more fixtures. Group multiple pixels to then move, copy, and scale them as a...
  • Enable Text field for all magic sheet objects

    • Planned for Future on
    • 1 Comment
    It would be very useful to customize the display text on all magic sheet objects, independent of the target name or label. I primarily use labels to distinguish items within their target list, which can make the labels lengthy and unsuited for display...
  • 2.9.1 and 3.+ on Same Machine issue

    • Planned for Future on
    • 4 Comments
    So this is an interesting problem that isn't really a bug, but just something that I think will need to be dealt with eventually. With 2.9.1 and 3.0 on the same machine (Nomad on PC), if 2.9.1 is accidentally (or sometimes purposefully) opened in client...
  • Bug: Export Advanced Patch xx thru yy hasn't worked in years

    • 1 Comment
    Bug rather than feature request: If you try to export just a range of channels (export>CSV>advanced>patch xx thru yy) you still end up with the entire show's patch exported to the csv. This has been broken for years (4 or 5 at least).
  • Parameter Display

    • Under Review on
    • 1 Comment
    Now that the parameter display could be rearranged, is there a purpose for the tile in the bottom left. Next to "Intensity". Could this be populated with "AllNPs"? That way the AllNPs can be a tile even when the CIA is collapsed. Thanks.
  • Reference based Groups for Effects

    • 7 Comments
    You can use Groups to define Channels for Effects but this applies them absolutely as channel numbers so if you update a group, the effect will not update to use the new grouping... It'll continue to use Chan 1>10 if you change Group 1 to 1>5...
  • Change multiple levels in an absolute effect proportionally at once (Aka be able to scale an absolute effect like a linear effect)

    • 0 Comments
    So say I’m trying to do a fire intensity flicker effect with absolute effects. I have 8 actions and I set my background as my high point. Every other action is a percentage below that background level. I like this method because it gives me maximum...
  • Flexi state with times and times displayed on channels

    • 2 Comments
    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...
