Show the name of a file in the Files panel #28352

Your use case

What would you like to do?

User's should be able to see the file name in the file panel, not just a render of it.

Why would you like to do it?

Where images are very similar, or there are several similar files in a room the user will be able to see the file name clearly and identify it for download

How would you like to achieve it?

Up to design but the Files panel also needs to account for the new captioned media work too so there also needs to be space for that design

Have you considered any alternatives?

Adding the file name to the download button might make the button far too long...?

@amshakal & @americanrefugee Would one of you be able to work with me on this? Aaron recently worked on the new file designs but Amsha is looking at Captioned Media so I don't mind who would like to help me 😂
