With the change in bug 58407 we call image captions 'Figure' by default. However, the table of contents offers 'Illustration' and this type ignores figures. My proposal would be to go with 'Illustration and Figure index'. Alternatively, we could add another entry to this list. Setting importance to high.

Also how would you select both 'Illustration' and 'Figure' entries in the category drop down list, or is that intended to be manually selected by the user? > Alternatively, we could add another entry to this list. As suggested in bug 58407 comment 7, we should do this as it would be an easy preset, which is the purpose of the type drop down list. So the new type entry would be labeled 'Table of Figures', and so would the title, and would preselect 'Figure' as the category.

Both illustrations and figures are listed in the same table of content.

The function is called "Illustration and Figures ToC", or any shorter version. The code merges both types into the same ToC.
I suggest to rename "Illustration index" to "Table of Figures" (analogous to Table of Contents and Table of Objects and to MSO Word). It is senseless and useless and confusing for users to have 2 indexes for images. One index for one type of objects. This single index for images should include the new and old form of default image caption naming.
Okay, Jay is right and we need two indexes. Figures run from 1 to n as well as Illustrations. So we cannot merge them into one ToC. Nickson's latest patch changes the index name to Table of Figures, which is kind of a status quo as Illustration has been switched completely now.

And that's wrong as the dialog provides the checkbox "Category" that allows to choose from all objects.

What is the purpose of category for table? I've noticed you could have a table of type "Index of Tables" which has the default category of "Table" but have the category as "Illustration". Maybe we should limit what categories can be selected for a table type?

For example, I'm using an English version but want to create a document in my language. So "Table of Figure" would be wrong, and I use my own caption. When it comes to the ToC it's simply the category selector that provides access to my caption. I wouldn't limit that, and as commented on gerrit your first patch is perfect.
