This could be a new library or existing one.

  • option to preserve all metadata or only select metadata. (--set / --clear [all, title, description, location, keywords, albums])
  • option to use exiftool on exported photos before copying to update (--exiftool)

In order to use a --download-missing option, the copy must be two steps: export all photos with metadata sidecars or db then switch libraries and import. Should this be the default? If there are no missing photos, it could be done in one step by switching to the target library at start then using osxphotos to read the source library.

I've figured out enough of the PhotoKit private APIs to make this work without using AppleScript.
