It's possible this software isn't ideally suited to your needs 
AscToHTM can convert tab-delimited data into HTML tables, but it would
be difficult to merge in your JPGs and make a good looking inventory
page from this, and you'd have the issue of keeping the page up to date.
If you were to go down this route, however, your best bet would be
to elect to treat the whole file as a tab-delimited text file by
setting the file type.
If one of your fields was the JPG name, then you might be able to edit
the file to make use of the software's pre-processor by replacing the
field by an [[HTML]] tag in the form
[[HTML <IMG SRC="mypicture.jpg">]]
This should just copy the contents of the [[HTML ...]] tag into the output
(in this case the <IGM> tag).
It's possible you could get the program's text commands feature to do
this automatically for you, depening on the contents of the sourec text.
Finally the HTML fragments feature could be used to add standard HTML
headers and footers to the page, allowing your site's navigational
links to be included.
Once you had all that working, you could look to automate the conversion
using the batch version inside some command feature.
So in principle it's possible, but it could be a lot of work. There's
no particulat cart software that AscToHTM integrates with - in essence
it just creates static HTML pages.
It strikes me you might be better served by looking for a commerce
solution that supports tab-delimited data import, but sadly I'm unable
to recommend any such systems
