Auto generating gallery of images

I have a few hundreds of images and I'd like to generate a "gallery" out of it. The problem is I'd like to have it in ODT or at least in PDF(or sth that I can print nice to PDF).

This will generate thumbnails, 6 to a row, each tile exactly 60x60, with the aspect ratio preserved, so there might be some blank around your image.

Your output might look like:"
