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

    When you populate beam palettes with gobos from moving heads, can the icons that already exist in the head file be applied to the palette? Automatically or via button somewhere.

    I would like pixel maps to have a variable response time. Problem: the pixels now respond directly to the content, resulting in pixels snapping on and off giving an extremely busy image, especially with lower resolution pixel maps and more graphical...

    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).

    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...
