It is at least hypothetically possible to port Geeqie to C++11 / GtkMM.
Ignoring the inevitable ridiculous mountain of work that it would take,
does the end state seem like a good idea?
Personally, I only knew C89 and small quantities of C++98 until I
started using C++11 for work earlier this

Hi,
I could take part in porting Geeqie to C++1x if it is decided to do so.
I've been using different kinds of C++ (98/2003/201x) for more than 10
years. I believe the fundamental thing why C++ is better than C is C++
destructor and all the automatic actions that can be taken in it. It
is very con
Is there a case for what users will get if we make these changes? We
should have a good expectation of improving life for our users or something
similarly worthy if we were to undertake the risk of such a project.
The following user effects come to mind, and they aren't overly positive:

Users are important, but with such move we could improve developers'
life at least.

Sure, but with C++ port we can also simplify code, and less code - less bugs.

More to the point, code that is easier maintain benefits developers as
well as users.

into the Overlay Screen Display using a Lua script.
