Toggle switch: "View > Slideshow > Settings > Show title" does not work on initial load of photos
Mandatory: Shotwell version
the issue was seen with: 0.30.10 – “Celle” running on UBUNTU 20.04 focal LTS

The expected behaviour
I expect that the View => slideshow ==> Settings ==> Show title toggle would show / hide the file name from the directory when a particular photo shows in the slideshow
What was actually happening
Toggle the "Show title" does not have the desired effect. I do not see the original filename as copied in from disk for these photo's show up.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
For simplicity testing with a directory that has two jpg's: filenames in the directory are: IJS 034.jpg and CORSO 011.jpg
In Shotwell I do file ==> import from folder for these 2 photo's
These two file names then do show in Shotwell: library ==> Photo's
Next View => Slideshow ==> Settings ==> Show title toggle has no action. The names IJS 034.jpg / CIRSO 011.jpg do not show one way or the other
Next I updated the names in Shotwell: library ==> Photo's using mouse right click then "Edit ==> Title" to test1 and test2
I noticed that the original names IJS 034.jpg and CORSO 011.jpg did not propagate the field in the dialog box in the first place. The new title names I gave are test1 and test2. These will store and will also show next time I open the dialog box. Also these updated / new titles will show in the slideshow based on toggle on / off.
So I think a shotwell metadata field may not get filled properly when photo's from the original directory are read in and edit ==> title does update that metadata field. It is somewhat tedious when one loads a large volume of files / photo's later that one would have to update each title by hand.
I found below link where the toggle option was first requested / defined and I think closed / implemented. I've looked if I could find any better description or screenshots of the settings "show title toggle" with original file names, but my searches came up empty. #1098
Would like to understand if import from folder should by default put the filename from file on disk in the "edit title" field or if that is a perception error from my side.
