Long Title from jpeg Truncated #474

ExifTool and Windows File Properties report the Title of the included image as "2020 05 Blooming Paloverde and Saguaros with Ragged Top and Walcott Peak in the Background" - this is the value I expected based on the title entered into Lightroom. The relevant line from ExifTool output:

Title: 2020 05 Blooming Paloverde and Saguaros with Ragged Top and Walcott Peak in the Background

However the data I am seeing from metadata-extractor appears to truncate the Title:

517 | IPTC | Object Name | "2020 05 Blooming Paloverde and Saguaros with Ragged Top and Walc"

Notes:

2020-05-Blooming-Paloverde-and-Saguaros-with-Ragged-Top-and-Walcott-Peak-in-the-Background

Hi. I’m not using the library directly, but an app that uses it. You can find what you are looking for in its entirety under XMP (dc:title). It is truncated under corresponding IPTC object name property as this property (as some others) is truncated as per spec Adobe observes when writing it.

Unrelatedly, this kind of information belongs more in XMP photoshop:Headline (and its corresponding IPTC Headline). The former is more commonly used for short, often numeric, cataloguing labels, the latter for human readable titles.
