Title: Copy Tags Only from a source file and apply them to all files in the current dir

I'm trying to copy the content of the "Tags"(windows->properties->details) from one file and apply it to all files on my dir with this.
"exiftool(-k).exe" -r -overwrite_original -TagsfromFile "G:\car photo\a1\20220822_123614.jpg" -all:all *.jpg

But this overwrite all data, including the thumbnail. I only want the Tags field to be copied.

See this post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=6591.msg32875#msg32875) for what tags are actually read by Windows Properties.

The "Tags" property can be read from three different tags. Instead of using -All:All, just copy those three tags.
