GetSetProjectInfo_String: with RENDER_METADATA - USER can contain only 1024 bytes

When I try to set a user field, like in the following code:

Code:

reaper.GetSetProjectInfo_String(0, "RENDER_METADATA", "ID3:TXXX:Session-Notes|"..SessionNotes, true)

the length of value+key seem to only accept up to 1024 bytes in total.
Means, when I get the stored value, it's truncated at 1024 bytes.

Is this a general limit imposed by the metadata-schemes themselves or is it a bug?

I wanted to store various additional session-notes and setup-screenshots(as base64) like eq-settings, etc into the rendered-files, so I have them available, when I need them for future reference.
However, 1024 bytes is very limited for that.

Would it be possible to raise it to the maximum length allowed by each metadata-scheme?

Tested on Reaper 6.44x64 on Windows 7
