Description TorrAB 2021-08-14 14:18:37 UTC 
Description:
	Trying to replace an existing template with a new one (of the same name), I get ‘Error importing…’. So, I rename the existing template and try again —successfully!
	The (very vague) error message should be replaced with something more specific and useful, such as ‘Template exists; replace it? Y/N’.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.~f m m, manage templates>import (from LO to LODev)
2.
3.

Actual Results:
error message ‘Error importing…’

Expected Results:
error message should be precise, and offer a choice.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
It would be convenient to have common templates for LO and LODev.

Confirm with.
Importing 2 times the same template is not allowed, but the problem is that we don't get info about this, just an error.
