Being able to set up and sort on those columns (I used the same approach for the length of the authors field) has made it much more convenient to shorten the names on excessively long titles and authors.
The shortened fields help to flush out more duplicate files by helping to first remove extraneous add-ons to those two fields (particularly when merging libraries), and then using the Find Duplicates plug-in.
The names of files when using "save to disk" are also shortened to a more practical length.
Thanks again to chaley, and thank you theducks ... you were right regarding chaley's toolkit and the basic approach to take.
