Title: Is this possible?: Merging keywords/tags between 2 photos (with tagsFromFile?)

Hi there,
I have 2 versions of around 30,000 photos that have separate tag sets that are both meaningful. Is it possible to merge the keywords such that the tags from file 1 are added to file 2? From what I understand tagsFromFile will write all the tags from file 1 over file 2's current tags.

You can add to existing values with += when writing, or +< when copying. See FAQ 17 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q17) for help understanding List-type tags.
