Feature request: Include file name in info screen? #488

I'm afraid in some cases people add not so useful titles to their video files making it hard to know which file you're watching / you've just watched.

Maybe we can add the file name to the Info dialog?

As a workaround, at least for mkv files, you can use mkvtoolnix to remove title metadata, so Clapper falls back on using files names for titles.

sudo apt install mkvtoolnix
for file in *.mkv; do
  mkvpropedit "$file" --delete title
done

Well, there is also #484 so I was thinking about adding an URI with a copy it button. This would hopefully solve both these issues. Filename would show with a full path then, which might actually help if someone is naming every video everywhere simply "video.mp4".

Sounds like a good idea. As long as the last part of the path is visible that would solve the usecase I mentioned.
