Re: Append value to existing tag
Yes. That is the problem. Currently tags can not be copied in a pipeline. This is because the copy is effectively a read followed by a read/write, but a pipe can only be read once.

This is easier to understand when you realize there is an implicit -tagsFromFile option whenever you copy tags. So your command is effectively:

... | exiftool -tagsfromfile - ... - > ...
