How do I view name of photo?

As per my previous question on unnamed faces, I have just upgraded to Aperture from iPhoto and am having a few teething problems as I get used to the differences.

This question should hopefully be straight forward!

I rename all my photos by their date/time.

In the different viewing settings, the only info I can see is "iPhoto original" across the bottom of the photo, with a couple of icons on the right (one is seemingly of a couple of lines; and the other of what looks like a mouse). In iPhoto I could see the name underneath each photo (i.e. the date/time), which is what I need when viewing thumbnails of multiple photos.

I can see that very detailed photo info can be seen on the left hand side of the screen, but I just want the photo title under the photo when viewing mutltiple photos.

Therefore how do I view the name of photos, and also, what do the two icons represent?

Thank you

Jerry, you need to customize your Metadata overlays:

Turn on the display of metadata
and edit the presets to show exactly what kind of metadata you want to see in browser and viewer.

For example: To show the version name in the browser in "Expanded View" use the following settings:

- Click the badge icon below the Browser window.

- Enable "show metadata"

- click "Edit"

- Select "Grid View" expanded (or whatever view you want to configure)

- In the left pane select the metadata items you want to dislay, in the right pane arrange there order by dragging.

Thanks - which option is the actual title of the photo? I've ticked "title" within the "Status" option but it still doesn't show (whereas "date", for example, does show).
