Tag - Filename mini-preview can silently truncate, and way short of the available space too.

E.g. the value:

S:\Rename test\ttango WMA\tango\_084273281\_fresh\_double\08427328146012-1\_Francisco\_Canaro\_40\_Grandes\_Exitos\01-Francisco\_Canaro\_-\_Instrumental A\_Media\_Luz\_170dfd14.wma.wma

can be displayed:

S:\Rename test\ttango

Please add some indication that truncation has occurred e.g. postpend '…'.

Added ... with Mp3tag v2.40 on truncation.

Perfect - thanks!

It would be great to have this on other displayed user strings e.g. tag/info strings in Properties.

I've added ... to the strings displayed at the properties dialog with the current [Development Build v2.40a](http://developer.mp3tag.de).

Kind regards,
