as can be seen by other issues (issue 30534 about caption moving, issue 20853 
about deletion and other), caption management can be improved.

i'll try to describe at least first steps to improve caption handling.

1. if caption dialog is open for an object that already has caption, edit 
current caption instead of creating another (are there cases when two captions 
are needed for single object ?). this would allow easy changing caption text, 
cathegory, location without completely re-creating it (and cutting object out 
of 
frame, pasting it etc).

2. add 'before' and 'after' fields in caption properties (just like in outline 
numbering). for example, in some languages it is common to add letters "nr" 
(that represent "number") before the number itself. some languages require a 
dot 
after numerals. (how fortunate, i need them both ;) ).
this would also be a workaround so that categories containing spaces could be 
imitated. probably these after/before fields should be common for category.
btw, only 'before' should be created anew - "separator" already acts as 'after'.

3. to resolve issue 20853 i would suggest adding a button 'remove' (similar to 
one in numbering properties) which completely removes caption and frame, so 
that 
picture is the way it was before adding caption.
