Description
Hey, I hope it is okay to add such things here. If not, my humble apologies :)
While creating maps where I positioned extremely similar but not identical background tiles at specific places it would have been useful if there was an option to overlay the name or some other identifier of the source image of a tile above it in the tile selection window and/or the map window, so I wouldn't need to strain my eyes as much making sure I selected the correct images.
Maybe I'll see about contributing this myself if I got the time in a few days and I succeed in getting the build environment set up.
Of course I have no idea how useful this would be for other people or how widespread use cases are where this is relevant. Any opinions?

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the tile selection and map windows in the C++ editor, then clarify whether the optional source-image name overlay belongs in one or both; done means similar tiles can be distinguished by an overlaid image name or identifier.
