I've "titled" many, many photos in iPhoto by changing the filename (e.g. "DSC_2254" --> "On vacation in Hawaii"), but there appears to be no option in Photos to show the filename. So none of my "titles" appear. Am I missing something?

If you open your Photos Library in Power Photos as a second browser, you can seethe metadata as column in a nice list view, or you can show the filenames as a subtitle below the thumbnails.
Even the free trial version can do this.
As an added bonus, the grid view can show the thumbnails on a dark background:
For a very large library PowerPhotos needs a long time to launch, so I simply keep it open at all the time.

Seems an easy solution would be the metadata pulldown menu to include the option to view the "filename" in the list.
Old Toad,
Thank you for the link to Photo Feedback. Done!
If you use Dropbox on iphone and
computer, the photos are transferred with the original filename. Works for iphone 6 and Mac OS 10.6.8 thru 10.11
You can not use Drop Box to transfer photos to the Photos library - they can only be imported
LNto Photos using the Photos application
Yes I can imagine.
Thank you for understanding Leonie.
I DID just go to Apple/feedback as you suggested & offered my opinion/complaint & reasons why I feel the way I do.
The error message:
Can’t make reverse of every character of «class filn» of item 1 of {«class IPmi» id "TR4GuRuYSGedlDyHx2UNoA" of application "Photos"} into type string.
I've been trying to run it as a Service within Photos, and it fails in that context.
You're welcome. 🙂

Control (right) - click on the app and select Open from the Contextual menu. In the next window select Open and from then on it will open without issue
Where are photo file names?
