Metadata: Can I auto populate the "Title" field with the data in the "File Name"

i.e. If I called my image Landscape-4567 in the "File Name" field, can I set up lightroom so that metadata editor auto-populates the same data into the "Title", so it is also Landscape-4567?

 

I use a plugin called Nextgen Gallery for wordpress and it reads and displays the "Title" field. I'd prefer it to display the "File Name" so that when customers are buying a print they can see the file name and tell me that name if we have to correspond about anything during the purchase process...

 

Cheers!

You could use the Metadata Wrangler plugin to automatically set Title to the filename of photos that you export.

 

You could use the Search Replace Transfer plugin to set Title to the filename of cataloged photos.
