I'm defining a new float that I'd like to caption with its own label. Something like:

\definefloat[picture][pictures]

I'd then like the caption to read:

Picture 1 - my caption text Picture 2 - etc

At the moment I've used \setupcaption[picture][way=bytext] to sort out the numbering but I cannot figure out how to do the label.

\setupcaption[picture][way=bytext,label=Picture] does the trick

This doesn't work for me. Setupcaption doesn't appear to support a label option (MKIV and assuming I'm looking at the correct source file…)

Use “\setuplabeltext[picture=Picture ]”. Wolfgang
