Editable image titles in grid view

I used Apple Photos for years, then switched to Lightroom. One of the things that drove me nuts with LR was that there was no way to show and edit image titles in grid view - an absolutely essential part of workflow for me. I also couldn't come up with a smart query to find images with missing titles in LR. 

So I switched to C1, thinking at first that it supported titles in grid view, only to find that they are actually filenames, not titles, so you get an error if two files in the same folder have the same title. Oops! Now I'm back to the drawing board. 

I mean, I want to stick with C1, as it's so powerful in other ways, but to me at least, this is a bummer. Please support titles in grid view! 

Thanks.

  Related question: I'm trying to make a Smart Album to find all images with missing titles, but can't seem to find a way to use "is blank" or "is empty" as a field criteria. This is easy in Apple Photos, kind of surprised it's not possible here. Or am I missing something? 

  Am also curious about the "Display Name" criteria - where is that set? Is it different from Title? Can't seem to find it mentioned in the documentation.

  Hi Scot,

  In Capture One, all the thumbnails are referring to the name of the original files.

  Please, let me know whether you would like the Title and Caption metadata fields to be added in Capture One. Also, those titles should be displayed in the Browser.
