How can you get the filename to show in the Tag Panel? I have tried adding it as FILENAME and _FILENAME in File > Options > Tag Panel. A field does show in the Tag Panel, but it is always empty; it doesn't show the actual filename of the selected song.

FILENAME is a tag. It’s not actually the filename. You need to create an action to copy the filename to the FILENAME tag. Then it will show up in the tag panel.

Assuming I figure out how to do that, will making changes in my "filename" field in the Tag Panel change the actual filename, like you can do in a Filename column?

The tag panel will not show any properties that are not tag fields. As a rule of thumb, these are all properties that start with an underscore like %_length%, %_cover_width% etc. If you add a user-defined field, then you as the user have to maintain it. BTW: AFAI understood the purpose of the tag…

AFAI understood the purpose of the tag panel, it eases the way to add the same data for several files. The same filename for several files is invalid. Yeah, that's a good point. Thanks to both responders. I will stick to adjusting filenames in the main track list.
