Description

Allow for making a text field (such as the title) show instead of the file name

Solution

The option could work as such:

Image

Spec

  • When text field is selected show another setting with a dropdown to pick which field to use. Use title as the default.
  • When the text field is empty show the filename instead.
  • Disable using the text field option if no text fields are in the library.
  • When the text field being used for display is deleted switch back to using filenames.

Alternatives

  1. Instead of the dropdown being any text field, always use the title.
  2. Add an option to prefer title names over file names.

Although these would be good enough for me personally, some may want more customization.
