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 convenient for a programmer. Sure, C++ has much more than just that. While porting to C++1x it is good chance to make Geeqie more cross-platform. But it seems Gtk is becoming (has become) an auxiliary tool for the "GnomeOS". And some of the well-known projects was/is migrating from Gtk. Maybe we should consider Qt instead? Anyhow, I guess it's more correct to talk about re-implementation than just port.
