--- Comment #7 from Heiko Tietze <[email protected]> ---
Discussed the issue with Stephane.

1. While using term Separator on different dialogs is not a big issue we also
have the auto caption and there all attributes are listed at once.

2. The "Numbering separator" becomes enabled if the setting "Caption order" in
the options dialog is set to "Numbering first".

3. It is possible to include the chapter number per Edit Field "Numbering by
Chapter" but any change in the caption dialog whether switching this option on
or off fails.

4. Some options apply to the whole category other to only the current caption.
For example, "Numbering first" vs. "Category First" is not applied to all
items. It's also possible to change the field from Arabic numbers to
Literals... Neither saving nor update (all fields) works but changing the
caption style per #3 does.

I would handle #3 and #4 separately as individual bugs.

For the UI topic we could move Numbering and Position into the options dialog
keeping the caption field, the caption type (should be renamed to Category or
Type), and the Separator in the doalog. The options dialog needs a preview too.
"Numbering Separator" could become "Followed by" and placed next to caption
order. The chapter separator maybe divider, just to have a different label.

I'll add a mockup to summarized the considerations.
