On my iMac running Mojave, with Photos version 4, I see file names, such as IMG_0134 under every photo or video , unless I've renamed the photo with a title. On my MacBook Pro running High Sierra with Photos version 3, no file names appear unless I've added a title. I haven't found a way to turn this feature on. Is showing file names a Mojave/Photos v4 feature or is there a way to view them in High Sierra?
First go to the View ➙ Metadata menu option and check all of the metadata offered. Next run one for these user provided AppleScripts on those Photos you've selected and want to have the file name show under the thumbnail:
Script: Changing the Title to the Filename without Extension
Script: Batch Changing the Titles to the Filenames with Extension (Dec 19,2018

Thanks for suggestion. I’m still wondering why the filenames show upon my iMac, but not the MacBook Pro. I didn’t use an AppleScript to get them to show up on the iMac. Is it due to Photos version 4 adding that feature?
With Photos V4 they show like they did in iPhoto. Earlier versions of Photos don't so need the script.
That explains it. Problem solved. Thanks!
