Assuming that TYPEOUTPUTALIAS isn't the intended command,
my impression from the Analog documention page for Aliases
(http://www.analog.cx/docs/alias.html) is that an asterisk
represents one directory level.  If so, this behavior would
be consistent with the behavior of UNIX's "ls" command where

   ls /directory/*/somefile.txt

      is not equivalent to

   ls /directory/*/*/somefile.txt

If I am correct, a series of FILEALIAS commands is needed
according to the depth of your directory structure.  The
following would cover the document root and one level of
directories/subdirectories immediately underneath it.

   FILEALIAS /*.gif "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*.GIF "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*.jpg "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*.JPG "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*.jpeg "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*.JPEG "All Images"

   FILEALIAS /*/*.gif "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*/*.GIF "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*/*.jpg "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*/*.JPG "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*/*.jpeg "All Images"
   FILEALIAS /*/*.JPEG "All Images"

P.S.  If a file (including an image) is missing from a site,
it would ordinarily be listed in the Failure Report.  Using
FILEALIAS on a large scale can affect the ability to easily
spot missing files.  In some cases, this might be an issue.
