Description TJ Meneses 2013-02-26 09:04:54 UTC
Problem description: Enhancement bug. Have the ability to create custom Categories (apart from the built-in Table, Illustration, Drawing, etc.) for captions where the Labels used can be defined by the user.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In a document, select a picture or chart.
2. Select Insert > Caption... from the menu bar OR select Caption... from the context menu.
3. Select User-defined Category from the Category field of the dialog box.

Current behavior:
There is currently no User-defined Category option in the dropdown list for the Category field, or any other similar option in the Caption dialog box.

Expected behavior:
A dialog box opens that will allow the user to define a new Category along with a custom Label and associated Style.
Operating System: All
Version: 4.0.0.3 release

Sure, I think more accurately would be calling them styles as are stated in the ask site, basically the same thing just for captions (If I'm understanding correct).

Valid enhancement request, marking it:
New (valid)
Enhancement
Medium - default, seems appropriate

ProposedEasyHack - a lot of the structure for styles are already there, seems like it might be easy to expand on this

I think this feature has been present in LibreOffice for a long time.

In the caption menu > Category: simply write the name of the new category you would like to use.

In order to limit the confusion between ProposedEasyHack and EasyHack and to make queries much easier we are changing ProposedEasyHack to NeedsDevEval.

Thank you and apologies for the noise
