I have read somewhere that littlecome, is part of Scribus since version
1.3.3? up. Although like the writer that has post this question I cant
find the icc that I wanted.
But if I remember correctly I was able to set the icc by going to file>
Preferences>and then change profiles. This got me the profile I needed.
The choice of PDFs are under export where there is a choice and I am
sure I have seen PDF/X-3 there
I hope this helps.

indeed, i also think that inline images are thought for small images
you would put in your text as if they where glyphs...
afaict, cezary is working on anchors amongs frames, so it may well be
that in the near future we will have a way to "dynamically" place
images.
a "dangerous" think as greg says, but if you use it well, it can be a
wonderful feature!

Imagine a catalog, with dozens of images surrounded with descriptive
text
with a rather complex formatting (headers, subheaders, description,
value,
etc). You'd want eveything to move at once, text and images, when you
insert a new entry ? provided the layout is structured in a way that all
entries are based on the same model.
That would be wonderful, yes!

If I understand what you're doing correctly, I think Lyx is the right
tool for that particular job. Neither Scribus or LibreOffice is
designed to do
what it does.

character styles for the scripter and the importers are on the radar...
very likely not hard at all to implement... but somebody has to program
it!

To be clear Lyx is a graphic front end for LaTex/pdflatex. I use
TeX in some form regularly for book length objects. Since TeX of
any flavor paginates on the fly as the last step in the process
it could handle additional text while maintaining illustrations
in sync with their accompanying text. But if you add text to an
illustrated text some anomalies can occur such as blank pages, or
so the manual says.
I don't use Lyx although I have it. I find writing directly in
e.g., pdftex or Context or even LaTeX an easier course. But I
learned TeX first, which may explain why I never found Lyx to be
better than using TeX directly.
Context allows for inserts that float with the text using the
\placefigure command and the "force" parameter. LaTeX uses the
"here" parameter to put the figure in relationship to the text
before and after.
In my current project I am debating between Context and Scribus.
If I use Scribus I will put the text together in linked text
frames and then place the illos after, allowing the text to flow
around the graphic frames. That is not the situation for the OP,
where he will want to add text ad libitum AFTER the graphics are
placed. He may be better served with some form of T
