I recently tested with a template, and there are two ‘bugs’ that I think I found, but it’s strange nobody reported them before, so maybe there are not.

I exported a template from a nexus 4, and imported it on a galaxy tab. The screen resolution is very different and:

1) the template had a panel with a grid of: columns-fixed number-1, rows-fixed size-79. When I imported it, after the scaling lightning does, the panel still had columns-fixed number-1 (which is expected and right) but still rows-fixed size-79, which is not because this way if the screen is shorter less items are shown and vice versa.

2) the template had the desktop set to ‘portrait only’ but when I imported it the tablet was in landscape and after the importing it changed to portrait. I then realized that all items were wrong placed, and when I changed the setting and rotated it to landscape, it was ok. I guess that in the import screen the orientation matters, so maybe you may add a check of the template final orientation, or even a pop-up to let the user choose it (the final orientation) before apply.

And last, but maybe this is not so important, what about a setting to disable the scaling? When creating it, or when applying it. Maybe a screen is made to automatically adapt, and the scaling broke some configs (not sure about this last one suggestion, anyway I guess a backup does the trick, not tested)
