PDF names not shown

logion
I am using Zotero 7. The PDF file names are not shown in the interface. What is shown is just "PDF". What should I do?

    From the documentation, it appears that showing the new name in Zotero was a "bug". It was actually extremely useful. Please can it be restored? Not only does it confirm that the renaming has happened, but a single reference may have several files (e.g. appendices), and it really is useful to be able to identify the main document immediately).

    You absolutely do not need to "confirm" this — please don't waste your time worrying about this. See https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/470939/#Comment_470939

    That's very easy — the main document is the one titled "PDF". The others will get longer, descriptive titles either automatically from the site translator (e.g., for supported supplementary files) or based on the filename if you drag from the filesystem.

    And you can also just double-click on the parent item to open the primary attachment without expanding the parent at all.
