Hello, Jaan.
As of digiKam 6.4.0 (and earlier versions) the HTML gallery plugin does create
a gallery.xml file which contains the original filename (with extension) for
each image:
JO2A2472.JPG
Interior of Lumley Chapel, Cheam

This means that a gallery theme does have the option to display the filename
below the thumbnails on the image list pages, and it's up to each theme
designer (and style within a theme) to decide whether or not to label the
thumbnails this way.
Of the HTML gallery themes which come with digiKam 6.4.0, the "Classic",
"Frames", "Matrix", "Simple", and "Snow" themes do show the filename (with
extension) below each thumbnail. Whilst the "Floating Cards" theme shows the
image caption underneath each thumbnail (which looks good for short
descriptions but might be a bit awkward for lengthy captions).
I find that the filenames are usually not helpful/appealing as a visual element
(because my files are all named by the camera; I don't rename them with a
descriptive label, because I use the caption metadata field in digiKam for
that). But if you want to see filenames without extensions appear below
thumbnails then the only way you're likely to achieve this is to create your
own theme and generate HTML and styling to make it look exactly how you need.
See this very useful how-to guide for advice on customising your own theme:
https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/dplugins/generic/tools/htmlgallery/themes/THEME_HOWTO
I'm going to mark this as resolved because gallery appearance is specific to
each theme and style, and for any visual style or structure not yet available
the possibility exists to create your own.
