[edit] Criticism
Eye of GNOME was criticized for its lack of GIF animation playback;[3][4] however, this functionality was included in version 2.29.1.[5][6]
Also, it used to render SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) as a rasterized bitmap by default.[7] This bitmap then gets manipulated when scaling the image, resulting in pixelation when zooming in.[8] However, this is fixed since version 2.31.1.[9]
