Just upgraded to elements 15 from 12 and find I cannot display the filename from the View menu - it is greyed out. Any ideas?

    Just use the shortcut 'Ctrl D' to switch from the new 'adaptative grid' view to the old 'detailed view you are used to.

    - adaptative view: useful for visual browsing, twice as many thumbnails or twice as big ones

    - detailed view: possibility to show filename, date and stack/version sets icons.

    Ctrl & D does nothing - I am on Windows 7 if that affects anything

    The shortcut Ctrl + D is the same as the menu 'View >> Details. It takes a few seconds to switch, so using the menu may be faster for you.
