Technical Information field character limit?

I've been in contact with the developer of m-TAGS (component) about a bug/limit over which he apparently has no control over. It regards a pseudo-tag it creates to store the path of an audio file which meta of a JSON-style item belongs to. The problem is, when calling it with $info(@REFERENCED_FILE) on an item with a path longer than 177 characters (ASCII anyway) anyplace where title formatting is supported, it doesn't show anything. The weird thing though, is that it does show the proper value under context menu -> properties (context item) -> properties (tab), under the "other" section, even if the path is longer than 177 characters.

So I'm wondering, is there a limit on $info() values or something?

Hold shift, click File>Browse configuration folder.

Now close foobar and then open the file LargeFieldsConfig.txt. Edit the value of infoMax

Code: [Select]
# Size limit for tech info fields
infoMax=200
