viewing Adobe Illustrator files

Post by xmerz »

Hi there,

First I would like to thank the XnView development team for creating such a great application! It has become my default image viewer on Windows XP (would love it if the Mac version is as good as the Win version, for I use a Mac at home).

I've recently downloaded and installed GhostScript so I can view .ai files with XnView. However, I find it to be extremely slow. It takes about 1-2 minutes to view an 128KB AI (CS3) file. And if the AI file was saved without PDF compatibility, I would just see a plain white window after the 1-2 minutes load/draw time.

Although I assume it's GhostScript that slows down the load/draw time, I hope this can be improved somehow in future XnView releases.

Thank you very much!

yes, but you can change the DPI output
