Description:
UI: Make the automatic caption functionality/settings more accessible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Writer
2. Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> Autocaption

Actual Results:
Autocaption is hidden at Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer -> Autocaption

Expected Results:
1) Autocaption should not only be a 'general settings' but also be configured for a (single) document
2) The options should be accessible from Insert -> Caption -> Submenu: Including caption + autocaption


Reproducible: Always

Don't see the need. And Insert would be definitely wrong, rather Tools. The function adds a caption when you insert an object (table, frame, image...) so you don't need to use Insert > Caption. It's perfectly fine to have this as a global setting, in my opinion.

No further input, resolving as NAB. The setting is perfectly suited under Tools > Options.

@Heiko
Thanks for the reminder ;-)

@Mike
Any input on this.. 

* I dislike this being a global setting (so if enabled, enabled for every document)
* The whole setting being hidden somewhere in the Tools -> Options -> Writer. Not a place somebody normally looks for a feature.

Or must this be combined with the image frame styles somehow, at the point where a image frame style can be defined (and set default), including anchoring and such (bug 87720)

Agree.
