Hi guys, Mattias here. Brand new Scribus user.

What I'm trying to create is a landscape A4 folder with four columns and five rows, where I can put images (CDs/LPs) and text underneath respective image to showcase merchandise.

How can I create this the easiest way? Tables didn't seem to work, but I'm absolutely open to ideas.

Please forgive me if posting in wrong section or if the question has been asked before. All I could find on the subject was a similar post from 2017, and that didn't solve my specific issue.

A4folder? As in in a Tri-fold or Z-fold?, Single or double sided?

Just a single A4, book fold, double sided. Basically a flyer, more than a folder, tbh.

If you want to make an A4 booklet wouldn't you want your pages to be A5 portrait, and arrange them next to each other?  Or just put some columns in an A4 landscape page?

If you are just going to print it, most people find it easier to create it using a landscape A4 document.

If you design it doing four A5 pages you also need to imposition these before printing.

For the task in question I would probably try to use guides and just place image and text frames using the guides (using snap to guides).
