Photoshop:ClippingPathName returns trailing chars not in the name for some images

Exiftool returns extra trailing characters with the clipping path name for some images. I have attached a zip file with 3 images. exiftool -u -Photoshop:ClippingPathName returns the following: $ exiftool -u -Photoshop:ClippingPathName correct.jpg Clipping Path Name : .ClippingPath. $ exiftool -u -Photoshop:ClippingPathName incorrect_trailing_dot.jpg Clipping Path Name : .ClippingPath.. e$ exiftool -u -Photoshop:ClippingPathName incorrect_trailing_33.jpg Clipping Path Name : .ClippingPath33. The clipping path is named "ClippingPath" in all 3 images. I know that the feature is unsupported and that you have no help from Adobe, but I would really appreciate if you could take a look at it.

Thanks for providing this information and for the sample images. The name is a Pascal string followed by 6 unknown bytes. I will change the next version of exiftool (7.64) to properly read the Pascal string and ignore the trailing bytes. Also, I will consider removing the "Unknown" flag from this tag. Thanks for the suggestion.
