Picture "description" has gone in LibreOffice!

In OpenOffice, after we paste an image in a Writer document, we can right-click on the image and there’s “Description…” in the context menu.

But in LibreOffice (I’m using 5.1.3.2), I can no longer find image descriptions! This is very bad regression.

I’ve always been using this in a lot of documents. If this image attribute is not going to come back, I think I’ll stay away from LibreOffice and stick with OpenOffice.

Did you try with right click → Insert caption?

(Unless my memory fails badly, the option have the same name on OpenOffice)

Ups! It seems I misunderstood your question… Sorry. Floris gave the right answer.

That was moved, quite silly. Select the image, then Format - Description (far down on the menu).

Actually it was always on Format menu just down one level in Format → Object → Description (or Name) and was moved up in the tree. There is also Format → Image → Properties, as well as the context menu Format → Properties either access to the Options tab for Name, and Alternative text (the Tittle field from the Description dialog).

Wow! OMG! That is really really stupid!

I first thought you said it’s “Format” on the context menu, but I’ve been there and didn’t find it. Then I realized it’s in Format menu! That means it’s totally removed from context menu!

Why on Earth did they put it in "format*? It’s a description, ie it’s an attribute which has NOTHING to do with format!

To be fair, I just found that Format (menu) > Description actually came from old version of OpenOffice, so it’s nothing new in LibreOffice. It’s just that I never looked in that place :smiley:
