Inspired by your posting, I wrote this short yasnippet in case I
want to use something similar in future:

,----[ ~/.snippets/tls ]
| name : Insert a table with files of a folder including links
| # --
| #+BEGIN_SRC sh
| PATTERN='${1:*.jpg}'
| MYFOLDER='${2:$HOME/}'
| cd \${MYFOLDER}; MYPWD=\`pwd\`; for file in \`ls -1 \${PATTERN}\`; do echo '-[['\$MYPWD'/'\$file']]'; done
| #+END_SRC
`----

Obviously, this does not work this way with Windows.

There might be room for improvement - please follow up if you
optimized it :-)

One thing: the dash in front of the '[[' is mandatory. Well, it does
not need to be a dash though. Any other normal character (non-empty,
not space) works as well. I did not quite understand why and did not
pay further attention.

The script above results in an Org-mode *table*. To me this was a
minor issue.

Related to this topic: C-c C-x C-v (org-toggle-inline-images) is of
interest for you. On a per-file-basis this is: #+STARTUP inlineimages
