Use of id3v2 mp3 tag for renaming files ?

Hi
I have a lot of mp3 and I think it would be useful to be able to have the option to choose the id3v2 instead of id3v1 for the tool-tips, the special rename, the files preview...
id3v1 are too limited in string length
Is this already possible ?
Thanks

No, id3v2 is not supported.

It would be a great thing if it would be supported in a future version as I have many files which use id3v2 ONLY so I have empty tooltips and no possibility to rename files by tags....
Thanks

and there is also this relevant thread:
