Help Import XML

You copy the .xml file to you machine and then check every <nme></nme> pair to see if there are any name conflicts with what you already have installed. They will overwrite matching profiles, projects, and tasks without prompting.
Is it a Project or a Task?

What are you trying to do?
I suggest that you start out simple and chip away at it.
Import will overwrite a task or profile with the same name.
When you EXPORT a task it is put in the tasks folder as a tsk.xml file
You don't have any projects in what you referenced.
To import a task ... see message above.
To import a profile ... do the same procedure clicking on PROFILES to start the process.

Perhaps Tasker would be improved by adding a general "Import file" command in the main UI? I suppose you can do it from the file browser...
In Tasker you are telling it to load some data and use it for a specific purpose ... like Project or Task. I don't see where a generic import file capability addresses the need.
What is needed is a safeguard that a liked-name element is not accidently overwritten by the import by asking fir permission when it finds one.
Global data access in Tasker is a little "fluid" and becomes an issue when you start creating .apk files. What was global in Tasker is not what is global in the .apk.

Perhaps make the interface less complicated? I've seen a few of these questions on forums, it would certainly eliminate that need. There's four different locations for Import commands, a generic button with subselecting the mode, or even Tasker recognizing the format and importing accordingly... I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. But I've been wrong before.
I don't see anything that it solves and it adds the potential for even more errors.
The way it is now you have to know if you are dealing with a Project, Profile, Task, or Scene and manually adjust for the varying implications of each.
That manual intervention is still required. Displaying profile, task. and scene names in a different color in the SML listing might help.
