Do still have enabled the checkmark in the View menu in Photos?

View > Metadata > Titles?

Then you should be seeing the filenames below the thumbnails, unless the photo has a title, then the title will be displayed instead. But you have to use a view, where the photos are not tiled.


And are you using the option to view the thumbnails in the correct aspect ratio and not as squares? And set the zoom slider to see large thumbnails.
