Hi Leo,
I import a theme (say FruitMedias k0001.cto) and I have some inactive Modules in the Settings (say News).
What happens is the Modules of the theme (say "Breaking News") show as a blank type [] rather than [Newsreader].
This is corrected if I activate "News" in the Inactive Modules settings.

The problem is this:
If I edit "Breaking News" BEFORE I activate News as a module, then on save "Breaking News" turns into a [Navigation] module - this being first on the Module Type dropdown list.
This can become very confusing, as I may not be aware what type of module "Breaking News" was supposed to be to correct it.

Its no biggie, but is there a way for a Theme Import to Activate all the Inactive Modules that it may require, so that this doesn't happen?
