This will work with jpeg, tiff, png, and gif images. 
Some cautions: at the moment the script is written strictly for files 
ending in small letters - .jpg, .tif, .gif, .png; .pdf used to work, at 
least for the first page of the PDF.  Haven't yet been able to get it 
working for .svg files (different image process).
The last I checked, it worked only in 1.2.2cvs, not 1.3.x, due to 
problems with the Scripter (specifically, sizing images to frame size 
not working).

scribalbum.py sets up four staggered images on a US Letter page (to 
leave space for notes), scribalbuma4.py puts eight on A4. In both, the 
filename is a caption, directory name is at the top of the page.  You 
need to run from within Scribus.

AFAIK, there isn't any limit to the number of images in a directory 
(I've ended up with 50+ pages) -- Scribus looks a little sick processing 
a big job, but it's never died on me.
