File length and UTF-8

I've been having some trouble with Grip the last few days.  Firstly, the
characters not to strip in filenames: #;:'"- ()[],.!éñüäßřáëùöÄ
The German characters in the last few days have gotten a lot of play (I
just got some CDs of Bach cantatas :-) but they've still been stripped
from the filenames.  ???

Secondly, the filenames get cut off after a while.  Is there any way to
raise/unset this limit?  It's kind of annoying because not only will the
.mp3 not be appended to the end of the filename, but the ID3 tag will
not be added for the file.

Thanks in advance,
Andrew Conkling
