P: Bring back the file extension on "Recent" in thumbnail view

I just noticed after updating that in the latest version of Photoshop (Windows 11) in the "Recent" view before I open any documents suddenly the file extension is missing from the file name under the image thumbnails.

 

That change is - in my humble opinion - incedibly bad UX and I have really no idea how any developer could possible come up with nonsense like this?  Yes, you can switch to the list view, there you can see the file extension, but I do not use the list view.

 

I regularily have multiple versions of files with different file extensions in this view i want to open and now I have to guess which is which? Seriously? 

 

Do the devs actually use Photoshop? I consider this a bug because it worsens user experience a lot.
