Q: Image File Names Missing from Underneath the Image in Photo

I have recently spoken with an Apple Support person and they confirmed that displaying the Image file name was a feature present in iPhoto, but was lost in the updated Photo.  Their suggestion was to send feedback to Apple.  He said this is the most effective way to get results, and the more of us that do this the better the chance we have of seeing this feature back in a future Photo update.  This was my feedback to Apple: 


 

"Thank you for the last Photo update... I appreciate some of the improved features that have been made to it. I would however like to note that the absence of the file names appearing underneath the image is sorely missed.  I find this information very useful as I receive photos from other sources and it helps me to identify the ownership of the photos.  I'm kind of lost without it now. 

 

While the screen may look tidier and friendlier to some, it would be nice to know that this feature could be made available as an option to View (Display Image File Name).

Could I make this as a suggestion for your next update?"

 

If you are also missing this feature, I would encourage you to submit your feedback to http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html
