[PD] GEM pix_write bugs (timelapse)

[Max]

hi list,

i've thrown together this tiny gem patch which makes a timelapse  
slideshow.
i have encountered a few issues with it.

configuration:
Pd version 0.41.4-extended-20090223
GEM: ver: 0.91.3 'tigital'
GEM: compiled: Feb 23 2009
OS X 10.5.6

the issues:
1. pix_write doesn't interpret the file path correctly. it seems it  
can't understand relative paths at all.

2. pix_write accepts a message [file <file> [<type>](. it creates  
files with a .jpg ending if the type is >0. But in reality it still is  
a TIFF. no matter what value you write.

3. pix_write creates files with an acending number 0...9999 this  
conflicts with how other objects like pix_multiimage do it  
(00000...99999)

just submitted that to the gem bugtracker.


and the patch:
put this to / because of the bug in pix_write to make it work. put a  
folder called "frames" beside it.

beware: this patch will also eat up all the memory and will crash pd.  
this isn't pix_writes problem though - i'll try to find out why this  
is now.
