[endfloat][classicthesis] Force floats to end of pdf, but keep numbering per chapter (two versions of document pdf)

Question

Like in this question, I would like to postpone figures to the end of the document (the aim of endfloat) but to have a chapter-based numbering of Figures. The solution given as answer works on simple document, but if I use classicthesis.sty, I loose chapter numbers in Figure numbering/caption.

Here is a minimal code.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[floatperchapter]{classicthesis} % ,manychapters
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage[nomarkers,nofiglist]{endfloat}
\makeatletter
@ifpackageloaded{endfloat}
{
 \efloat@condopen{fff}
 \pretocmd@chapter{\immediate\write\efloat@postfff{\noexpand\stepcounter{chapter}}}{}{\fail}
 \AtBeginFigures{\setcounter{chapter}{0}}
}{}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\chapter{First Chapter}
\lipsum[1-1]
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \fbox{CHAPTER: 1 -- FIGURE: 1 -- ref=\ref{c1:f1}}
  \caption{chapter 1 -- figure 1}
  \label{c1:f1}
\end{figure}
\lipsum[2-2]
\begin{figure}
  \centering

  \fbox{CHAPTER: 1 -- FIGURE: 2  -- ref=\ref{c1:f2}}
  \caption{chapter 1 -- figure 2}
  \label{c1:f2}

\end{figure}
\lipsum[3-3]
\chapter{Second Chapter}
\lipsum[4-4]
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \fbox{CHAPTER: 2 -- FIGURE: 1 --  ref=\ref{c2:f1}}
  \caption{chapter 2 -- figure 1}
  \label{c2:f1}
\end{figure}
\lipsum[5]
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \fbox{CHAPTER: 2 -- FIGURE:  2 -- ref=\ref{c2:f2}}
  \caption{chapter 2 -- figure 2}
  \label{c2:f2}

\end{figure}
\lipsum[6]
\end{document}

Have you tried loading classicthesis just before \begin{document}? — PhilipPirrip, Dec 16 '20 at 21:52
@PhilipPirrip Yes I tried loading classicthesis before loading endfloat (as in the example), just after loading endfloat, and just before \begin{document}. — Marc Boyer, Dec 17 '20 at 08:06
I've just tested your ME: I do see chapter numbers on pages 1 and 3, and four "figures" on pages 4-7. Using classicthesis v4.6, TeX Live on Fedora Linux 33. — PhilipPirrip, Dec 17 '20 at 17:37
@PhilipPirrip My description of the problem was unclear. Sorry. I have updated it. The problem is to have chapter numbering in caption of Figures. — Marc Boyer, Dec 18 '20 at 10:04

You're patching the wrong command.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage[nomarkers,nofiglist]{endfloat}
\usepackage[floatperchapter]{classicthesis} % ,manychapters
\makeatletter
\AtBeginDocument{%
  @ifpackageloaded{endfloat}{%
    \efloat@condopen{fff}%
    \pretocmd\caption@chapter@ORI{\immediate\write\efloat@postfff{\noexpand\stepcounter{chapter}}}{}{}%
    \AtBeginFigures{\setcounter{chapter}{0}}%
  }{}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\chapter{First Chapter}
\lipsum[1-1]
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \fbox{CHAPTER: 1 -- FIGURE: 1 -- ref=\ref{c1:f1}}
  \caption{chapter 1 -- figure 1}
  \label{c1:f1}
\end{figure}
\lipsum[2-2]
\begin{figure}
  \centering

  \fbox{CHAPTER: 1 -- FIGURE: 2  -- ref=\ref{c1:f2}}
  \caption{chapter 1 -- figure 2}
  \label{c1:f2}

\end{figure}
\lipsum[3-3]
\chapter{Second Chapter}
\lipsum[4-4]
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \fbox{CHAPTER: 2 -- FIGURE: 1 --  ref=\ref{c2:f1}}
  \caption{chapter 2 -- figure 1}
  \label{c2:f1}
\end{figure}
\lipsum[5]
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \fbox{CHAPTER: 2 -- FIGURE:  2 -- ref=\ref{c2:f2}}
  \caption{chapter 2 -- figure 2}
  \label{c2:f2}

\end{figure}
\lipsum[6]
\end{document}

Great. Thank you very much. – Marc Boyer Dec 18 '20 at 11:10 — Marc Boyer, Dec 18 '20 at 11:10
