Main goal is to create fast and flexible image viewer.

The long term goals I can think of are:

- GUI cleanup - now there are windows like search or collections that 
duplicates a lot of code of the main window. The common feature they have is 
that they provide a list of files, so they could be integrated as alternatives 
to the directory pane.

- porting to libgio

- Pan view redesign - Pan view is based on a custom backend and the code
is not easy to understand. With Clutter library it is possible to achieve the 
some functionality much easier. Also, integration of pan view with the rest of 
Geeqie could be improved.

- support of large images - currently there is a limitation arould 32768 
pixels. Pixbuf renderer could be connected with image loader, to request 
downscaled version or only the displayed region of the image on demand. This 
will allow handling of large images with reasonable memory requirements.

- use standard Gtk file dialog
