Merge Formats library into Metadata library? Or, Add Format in bulk?

Is there any way to take the book formats from Library1 and add them to the existing metadata in Library2? Please note I'm trying not to add a bunch of records that I need to delete or merge afterwards.
  1. If you do an Add Books (any type) with automerge, newly available formats are not merged into the existing book records of Library2.
  2. If you Highlight multiple book records and try to Add Formats, a warning appears stating you will add all the files to each and every book record.
  3. Attempting to Copy to Library with automerge does not merge new formats into the existing book records of Library2.
  4. Using the standard OS copy file method moves the file into calibre's file structure. However, both Check Library and Restore Database fail to recognize the addition of these files. (Yes, I know it's not recommended, but I've got back-ups.)

So can anyone offer assistance on how I can merge Library1's files into Library2's metadata without lots of manual effort?
