How is it intended that drod behave if a user imports a player file that has the same player name as an already existing player?

It can detect whether it's importing the same player as one that's already been imported. (This is a tricky bit of work and one reason why we've been having some import bugs.) If the version of the player being imported now is newer than the one already imported, it will be overwritten. If it's the same or older, it will be ignored. If it's just a different player with the same name, then it will be imported as usual.
