Does anyone know where I can adjust the settings so my metadata doesn't get truncated when added to the database? I add all my images via FTP.

Thanks!

Some more info maybe what gets truncated? Which release? Errors in the logs?

The fields in the sql database: IPTCImageCredit and IPTCSource. I am using the 1.4.4.4 build. I checked the error log and there is nothing.

Please post an example what should be there and how it is truncated.

Each image may have a different credit (this is a historical image database). For the IPTCImageCredit field, one image has "Andrews University Public Relati", which should read "Andrews University Public Relations". For the IPTCSource, I have one that shows "http://www.centerforadventistres" which should read "http://www.centerforadventistresearch.org/gallery/photographs". I am not really worried about the IPTCSource field, as we probably won't use it in the display (since it's the same for each photograph, I will probably just write the credit notice into the image.php code). But since it was truncating too, I mentioned it.

Most EXIF fields in the database are setup with var(52) or even var(32) so anything with more chars is truncated then. I have to admit I don't know why they are so tight but I am rarely using EXIF data myself.

My colleague will have an idea. Maybe the char limit is part of the official exif specs then it would make sense.

The size limits are typically set from the IPTC/EXIF spec. Probably you should open issues on this.
