Here is what I do (LO 7.0.1.2).

- Paste a small picture
- add a long caption by right click -> Insert Caption
- click away to remove the focus from the frame
- right click on the image, Properties -> Type tab -> turn OFF the "Relative
to" checkboxes
- click on the frame
- make it wider so that the caption fits into one line
- make it lower so that there is no big gap within the frame, under the
caption.

This is quite cumbersome. 

The really annoying thing is that the frame keeps its height and leaves a large
gap under the caption. I understand that when [X] Autosize is turned on, the
"Height" label is changed to "Height (at least)" but it shouldn't. Autosize
should simply mean it decreases the height as much as it can.

If Autosize would allow the height to shrink then the process would be one step
simpler.


The absolutely convenient solution would be if I could define a style 
- for newly inserted images: I could set the Width to Autosize, rather than
"Relative to the paragraph with: 100%"
- for frames for the images: I would set its Width to Autosize.

The Autosize width ad height for the Image is the original size of the image as
long as it fits between the margin, otherwise the distance of the
horizontal/vertical margins.

The Autosize width for the Frame would mean maximum(wImage, wCaption) where 
- wImage is the width of the image and 
- wCaption is the width of the caption when it is broken into as few lines as
possible while the lines still fit between the margins.
