First, GIMP is an editing tool, not a viewing tool. If you want to view an image file without editing it, there are much better tools for that (with a simpler UI, faster to load, and so on). Second, GIMP is a bitmap image tool. Even if you don't want to edit the file, viewing a vector file with GIMP is a bad idea because you won't be able to zoom without a loss of quality. > The OP asked what could open an .eps > The question was answered. Emacs can also open .eps files. But I doubt the answer would be a good one.
