Sounds like a simple explorer view. For the directory part the 
DirectoryGenerator is sufficient. For the images you need the 
ImageDirectoryGenerator.

Which XML file? The DirectoryGenerator directly operates on the file 
system. It does not use any XML as input.

There are two (not that obvious) samples in the Cocoon samples:

cocoon-2.1\src\webapp\samples\blocks\sitemap.xmap
cocoon-2.1\src\webapp\samples\test\sitemap.xmap

The latter one generates just the XML of one dir:

<map:generate type="directory" src=".">
     <depth>1</depth>
</map:generate>

while the first one also transforms the XML into another XML:

<map:generate type="directory" src=".">
     <map:parameter name="depth" value="2"/>
</map:generate>
<map:transform src="directory2xsamples.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="xml"/>

Furthermore there is a directory2html.xslt at 
cocoon-2.1\src\webapp\stylesheets\system, that creates not that nice 
HTML view out of the XML, but it should help.

Feel free to ask more.
