Claudius just pointed out that the wildcard * in pix_multiimage is not a wildcard at all, but a %d printf pattern.
Anyone mind if I replace that code with a real glob? I have the code for all platforms in the folder_list.c external.

Gem has already abstracted away the code for globbing in Base/GemFiles.cpp.
however, i would changing the "*" to a real wildcard would totally break compatibility. i would rather have the asterisk be replaced by something more convenient, e.g. "%d" (and allowing "%06d")

furthermore, i would happily dump the entire [pix_multiimage] altogether (and leave it as it is, for legacy reasons), since all it's functionality could be replaced with [pix_buffer].
i thought about adding the globbing code to [pix_buffer], but it is probably more flexible and less effort, to just use it as it is and use [folder_list] or something else to do the globbing.

For me, its just really bad form using a * for a printf replacement. If you want to make it use printf statements, that's fine too.
