Description

I'm looking for the ability to do things like copying one set of tags from worse to better, copy another smaller set of tags from better to worse.

The primary use case is the "this is better, but keep both" option, where I'd like to copy creator, character, and series tags from better to worse, in case the worse one is missing those. I don't want to do the copy in both directions thing, I want a different list of tags for one direction than the other.

Another use case would be when using the "this is better, and delete the other" option, so that I can easily go through my trash later to make sure I didn't delete anything from my favorite series that I truly didn't want to delete.

Research direction

Start by locating the tag-processing controls for the “better, but keep both” and “better, and delete the other” options. Trace how tags are copied in each direction, then define separate tag lists for each direction and verify that both processing modes preserve the requested asymmetry.
