[Tex/LaTex] Formatting subfloatrow captions as Figure 1.A etc

floatrowsubcaptionsubfloats

I have been looking all over the place for a solution to this problem but I can't seem to find one. Basically I want subfigures captioned as "Figure 1.A", "Figure 1.B" etcetera. I use floatrow's subfloatrow environment to create my subfigures, and it seems able to change almost anything about the captions (place the labels next to/above/under/idk), but I can't arrange the caption to do what I want them to do. I do not want a general caption for two figures, but one caption per figure and labels A-Z, see my MWE:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{floatrow}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{graphicx} 

\begin{document}
\chapter{A Nice chapter}

\blindtext

\begin{figure}[!h]
\begin{subfloatrow}
\ffigbox
{
\caption{This is where I would like caption formatted as: Figure 1.A: ....}
\label{fig:niceFigure}
}
{
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{./testimage.jpg}
}
\ffigbox
{
\caption{This is where I would like caption formatted as: Figure 1.B: ....}
\label{fig:nicefigure2}
}
{
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{./testimage.jpg}
}
\end{subfloatrow}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

The current figure is contained as subfigure counter if the subcaption package is used, however, it's better to use self - defined format for the subcaption, via \DeclareCaptionLabelformat

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{floatrow}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx} 

\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{subfig}{\figurename #1~\arabic{chapter}.\Alph{subfigure}:}

\begin{document}
\chapter{A Nice chapter}

\blindtext

%\renewcommand{\thesubfigure}{\arabic{figure}.\Alph{subfigure}}%

\clearcaptionsetup{figure}
\captionsetup[subfigure]{labelformat=subfig}

\begin{figure}[!h]
\begin{subfloatrow}
\ffigbox
{
\caption{This is where I would like caption formatted as: Figure 1.A: ....}
\label{fig:niceFigure}
}
{
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{./testimage.jpg}
}
\ffigbox
{
\caption{This is where I would like caption formatted as: Figure 1.B: ....}
\label{fig:nicefigure2}
}
{
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{./testimage.jpg}
}
\end{subfloatrow}
\end{figure}


\end{document}
