Caption above figure

Question

1. How can I set the caption to be above the figure ? It has something to do with package floatrow. If I comment the line which is loading it, all is OK. I dont accept solutions as "disable floatrow package". In real project I need it because there is no other way to force caption to be typeset above table.

2. How can I debug this sort of problems in reasonable time ? For example very often I have problem with additional empty pages latex is inserting in my pages (this has nothing to do with two-sided document class). Every time I use another solution based on series of try and error. I am not satisfied that with every little thing I am trying to achieve in latex (which in MS Word I would done in few minutes) I must write to this forum or use google search. What type of analysing tools Tex environment is offering to have more control over what is happening under the hood ? Take above mentioned example with empty pages only as one problem from many possible. I am interested in the way how to find solution, not in solution for this particular problem. Take in mind that my real project is much bigger with more packages and writing MWE for every little problem is time consuming. Even when beginner my feeling is that this is not the correct way doing things.

This is my MWE:

\documentclass[twoside,openright,titlepage,numbers=noenddot,headinclude,
footinclude=true,cleardoublepage=empty,abstractoff, 
BCOR=5mm,paper=a4,fontsize=11pt,
ngerman,american,slovak%
]{scrreprt}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{floatrow}

\begin{document}

\appendix
\part{Prílohy}
\chapter{Zdrojové údaje}

Answer 1

I suggest you read the provided manual more carefully; that could save you a major portion of that frustration.

\documentclass[twoside,openright,titlepage,numbers=noenddot,headinclude,
footinclude=true,cleardoublepage=empty,abstractoff, 
BCOR=5mm,paper=a4,fontsize=11pt,ngerman,american,slovak%
]{scrreprt}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{floatrow}
\floatsetup[figure]{capposition=top}

\begin{document}
\appendix
\part{Prílohy}
\chapter{Zdrojové údaje}

\begin{figure}
  \ffigbox
    {\rule{3cm}{3cm}}
    {\caption{Kópia zoznamu básnikov z Kroeberovej knihy}}   
\end{figure}
