> Second, it's put in to Format (menu) > Description.  But that's illogical! 
> Description has *nothing* to do with *format*!

Name, title and description are attributes/properties of the image and the
format menu focusing on altering those properties.

> Can't you put it back on context menu and remove it from "Format" menu?

Unfortunately it wouldnt be included back in the context menu as we are keeping
the context menus short. Name is available through the context menu with the
image properties entry on the options tab. It would be useful for title and
description to also be in the dialog.

You are incorrect as openoffice had and still has it in Format > Object >
Description and it was moved to Format > Description in libreoffice 5.1.

Cant say i'd agree as the image context menu already has 15 entries in it.

Draw's menus have been modified during the rework.

Yes that was an oversight because it was never in the menus before the rework.

Yes most of the context menu alterations happened in writer and impress/draw,
so calc hasnt had the clean up as yet.

No they shouldnt, which is why it was removed them.

Users shouldnt need to open up 2 different dialogs to modify name, title and
description, so it is better to consolidate all of these in the image
properties dialog.
