I'm trying to customize the template of the Media Browser (when clicking on "Add Media" button within Edit Post page), by adding a caption with the filename on each thumbnail so I don't need to select the image to check its filename on the Attachment Details panel.

What I have done so far is a version of the solution described in here:

I'm using the "tmpl-attachment" template, from line 506 of media-template.php which is exactly what I need to customize: .php

By clicking the Add Media button I was expecting to see all the thumbs with its filename in a black background on the bottom of the image, but nothing is happening. Looks like I'm missing something and I would appreciate any help to find out what is wrong.

There was a typo, and instead of:

wp.media.view.Attachment.prototype.template = wp.media.template( 'attachment-custom' );

Should be:

wp.media.view.Attachment.prototype.template = wp.media.template( 'attachment_custom' );
