If you send an "open [filename]" message to the pix_image it will load that image, this does not effect rendering, it will simply come up when it loads. What do you want to trigger your images?
I think multiimage stores the images in memory so they are called up faster, but I never had a speed problem loading images with pix_image, depends on the frequency.
you can always use openpanel to supply the filename.

hi all,
just a quick question. Is it possible to display an image dynamically with gem? I want to be able to choose the file to open (eg with pix_image) while the patch is running. Is this possible?
Please help!
