Speaking as a naive user of AutoCaption. 1. I can understand that this option allows me to set up a way to automatically add a caption (with desired options), whenever I insert a NEW object (frame, image, table). (nice feature!) 2. It was a surprise that a dialog, which is supposed to apply to something NEW being inserted, should also apply retrospectively to objects that were already inserted (whether manually or with AutoCaption). (that motivated the OP, because it is not documented) Do not have a strong opinion either way about the expected behavior of AutoCaption -- but if the current behavior (with retrospective changes) is the expected, then I will add a note in the documentation. NB -- same behavior happens in the Insert Captions - Options dialog. Change the "separator" in the Options "Numbering by Chapter" section, click OK, then change is applied to all caption numbers in the category (even if no caption is inserted). (in this connection see bug 153488) Again, not necessarily a complaint about the behavior, just an expression of "oh! That was not expected", and a thought that if the intention is that changing the separator (even without insert) will change all existing captions (in the category), then maybe worth documenting. For purposes of the OP, nothing deeper than that. But I have sympathy for the arguments in comment 1. Seems "bad" from user POV to use a dialog that has the purpose of creating something new, and then discovering that it has changed already existing captions. This is relevant to bug 153248. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
