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.
