Please bump Geeqie to 1.4. http://geeqie.org/
Thank you for the bump request. You can help the maintainer with further information: Does a simple bump [1] work on your system? Chances are high, because a first look on the bump revealed only small changes.

Geeqie 1.4 ========== - Improvement of GTK3 implementation - Improved marks workflow - Animate gifs (via context menu or key A) - Compiles with gcc and clang - Rectangular selections (activated by Alt-R) - Folder bookmarks - Search via geo position - Thumbnail preview in dialogues - Customisable tool bar - Slideshow speed customisable while playing - Many usability improvements - Language updates - Many small improvements - Many bugfixes as usual http://geeqie.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=geeqie.git;a=blob;f=NEWS;h=5390169222fcbe7bdaa2da9a92f225b1b5912b2c;hb=7c9b41e7c9be8cfc9b4f0a2459c0a1e0e4aaea5b
I switched from Gentoo to Sabayon due to using a slower laptop, but I hope this helps. Renaming the ebuild to geeqie-1.4.ebuild, removing the patch and compiling using ebuild geeqie-1.4.ebuild merge --skip-manifest worked, but installing failed due to not finding "ChangeLog". Geeqie-1.4 uses GTK2 by default. I don't know what 1.3 used, but the git version used GTK3 by default for a long time. They reverted to GTK2 a day before the release. http://geeqie.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=geeqie.git;a=commit;h=a6e30bc1a4c923e64bf676556ff5e75a8f1169ae "Does upstream distribute its website in (...) the 1.4 tar ball?" Yes, it seems they do.
Seems the "ChangeLog" problem is an upstream issue, and I see you already know about it, but linking here for reference: https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/568
Indeed, the bump should go in soon in tree, animated gifs support by itself is worth it! I will probably keep gtk2 by default as recommended by upstream For reference, the bundled website in the tarball has an upstream issue now: https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/570

The ebuild also needs a new USE flag to control the dependency on media-video/ffmpegthumbnailer via --disable-ffmpegthumbnailer. This feature allows generating thumbnails for video files and coupled with another preferences level option allows to easily start playback in a separate window.

Thanks, sorry for missing your contribution! I added USE=ffmpegthumbnailer in 1.4-r1 (and updating my config to enable this)
