Why is filename no longer appearing in the main window view, nor available to add as a column?

It looks like it has been deleted in your layout. You can simply use the “New” button and add it back to the list there.

How is that done? I don't see a way to reset without wiping out other fields, and I don't know what to fill in to the "new" screen. Any help most appreciated.
