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

    Ability to make an 'instance' of a cue, to set and update multiple cues based off the instance at once. Would be useful for blackout cues - if a light is updated to turn on backstage, updating one cue and having Eos handle updating the rest would save...

    Hey, Extinguish mode has proved very useful since its introduction but I wonder if it's function could be expanded a little. First off, It would be great if it didn't grey out the master playback OLED's on an Apex, these aren't bright anyway, but would...

    The syntax like "Update part 2 through cue 178" gives an error. Currently it seems like such a cue update requires two steps, update through cue 178, then in blind putting those lights into part 2 in the current cue. Would be awesome to specify a part...

    It would be useful for Effect Tiles in Direct Selects to be hi-lighted for appropriate selection sets rather like other palettes selections work at present.

    Could the /eos/out/active/wheel output string include names of frames? Something like: /eos/out/active/wheel/15, Gobo Select [2], 4(i), 2.000(f), higgs(s)

    There may be good reasons to not do this that I'm not thinking of but... If you're in Control mode and if you've got a moving light on and you're showing focus handles, right now you have to select the light on the command line first, and then grab...

    The Magic Sheet tombstone should be modified so that it matches the Live Summary tombstone. In particular: Color swatch should not go behind the intensity value (so intensity colors still work - green, blue, white, magenta, etc) Same thing for...

    It would be super useful to add the ability to set a 2D rotation on images used as backgrounds in magic sheets. Currently, I have to edit a photo outside Eos in order to rotate it 90° etc. Having the option to do that the same way we can change scale...

    I think it would be really helpful to have an apple watch (or other smart watch) extension of IRFR that displayed small bits of information for noting shows. My initial conception would be a Master Playback Status display with cue labels. Im sure there...
