well, you can give a "skip" value to only load (e.g.) every 3rd image.

but you are right, it might be useful to do "open /pics/" and it would 
load all images in /pics/*.

this is more interesting to me. i admit that i seldomly use loading 
multiple images.

could you send a patch that shows this behaviour ? (including the crashy 
images)


btw [pix_imageInPlace] stores the images in texture-ram (this is: on the 
gfx-card) which might run short (depends on your gfx-card)
