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

    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...

    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...

    Eos can detect open and close as shown by sub bump, it holds the bump down on contact close, and releases on contact open. I would like to be able to trigger Macro x on contact close, and Macro y on contact open.

  • A3d: Zoom to Selection + Beam

    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...

    It's very useful, for instance, to gather, all the conventionals into a Query folder, or all the moving lights, or all of FOH, etc. I would love to be able to click that folder and turn all the objects inside of it visible or not visible by using the...

    Hello It would be great if I could change the stacking order of a layer on the fly - I often have the need to fade between a number of different images, and since I am limited to 12 layers I have to do some messy trickery once I get past image 11 to...

    I find myself often enough updating references out of order and have no way of marking at the end of the day " I updated this preset". Currently after I update a preset I label it with an arbitrary symbol but then at some point I have to go back and update...
