Model naming in Cura Object list

Is there a way to show the model file name in the object list instead of "body235465"?  I believe the last few Cura releases have changed to displaying "body..." instead of the model file name inserted into Cura.

    The name could also depend on what format you're importing your models in. I use STLs and they show up correctly with their filename. 3MF files can contain multiple objects so each one has its own name (which isn't the filename) and whatever program you're exporting from could just be using an autogenerated name like that. If you can change the names of parts in whatever program you're using (like I do in FreeCAD) then they will hopefully export with that name rather than a generic one.

    Thank you Slashee_the_Cow.  I have always saved the filename as .3MF thinking that this format is better than .STL.  But the filename does show up with the .STL file instead of the .3MF file.
