--- Comment #7 from Yousuf Philips (jay) <philipz85 at hotmail.com> ---
What is used in the competition.

MS Word     : Figure [listbox item]
WordPerfect : Figure (auto inserted)
TextMaker   : Figure & Picture [listbox items]

Similar to TextMaker, we could easily add an additional entry in the combobox
for 'Figure', and this would also be beneficial for interoperability.

I am in favour of using Figure by default based on Owen's comment 1 and Heiko's
comment 6, but believe some additional logic needs to be added to the caption
and option dialogs to ensure a good UX.

1. options dialog entry to set what the default entry should be. The dropdown
list will have the entries 'Automatic' (default), 'Figure' and 'Illustration'.

2. logic in the caption dialog to handle what to do when the 'Automatic' entry
is set in the options dialog. If the document doesn't have any image captions,
then it automatically select the 'Figure' entry, while if the document has
image captions, it will detect whether to automatically use 'Figure' or
'Illustration' based on the existing image captions already present.

We should also ideally add a 'Table of Figures' type to the Table of Contents
dialog, which has 'Table of Figures' as the title, and 'Figure' as the
category.
