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

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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!

    Can we add the ability to use the About menu to view the usage of a submaster/view which cues execute the submaster, just as you can with channels, presets or effects?

    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!
