P: Import from another Catalog. Option to import duplicates as Virtual Copies instead of replacing Masters
I have a main catalog to which I occasionally add photos using the Import from another catalog option. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes those photos are already in the main catalog with edits and other metadata. When faced with duplicates, Lightroom offers the option to Keep old settings as virtual copies, but it seems more logical to me that when faced with duplicates, the opposite option should be available, i.e., to add the photos from the imported secondary catalog as virtual copies while keeping the existing ones as Masters. This would allow users to compare both versions side-by-side and delete the unnecessary one without risking the integrity of their primary edits.
In my case, there are usually no edits in the imported catalog, but to be on the safe side, I would like to import it (as a virtual copy) so that I can compare, check, and delete them if necessary.
