How do I display file names in grid display for the cloud based Lightroom CC on my desktop?   I see how to do this on the mobile version, but I'm not having any luck on the desktop one. 

Thanks

Steve

    Two years. Holy cow.

     

    Just loaded up this version of Lightroom to start using it.

    That was ten minutes ago. That'll be it for me.

      Are you kidding me guys that you cant fix this. Such a simple thing. 

      For clients to be able to choose what files they choose.

          Yes. I can confirm the status has not changed since my official post.  If that were to happen the thread would be badged "Implemented" at the top.

          Can you confirm whether or not it is now possible to view filenames on the thumbnails in gridview?

            So if I have a jpg and a nef of the same photo, there is no way to see the filename to make a distinction? This makes no sense and is a big omission.

              These instructions are for Lightroom Classic. This thread is for Lightroom Desktop - a different product.

              I've just signed, imported several hundred photos, then wanted to locate a photo by name to see if I'd already uploaded it from another folder.  The first thing I looked for was the file name within the grid view, very strange omission.  It would also be good to see the capture dates in the grid view, and be able to group the grid by day etc.

                The Vote button is top right. Filenames don't really mean a lot in cloud computing, so it hasn't been considered a priority, but lots of votes could potentially change that.
