 WordPress do not update theme using Appearance > Theme > Add New.

 As we know, a theme can be updated through Dashboard, if it is hosted on
 w.org.

 But what if a user what to update theme using
 Appearance > Themes > Add new > Upload theme.
 Appearance > Themes > Add new > Upload theme / update theme. (may be we
 can add this feature).

 Suppose we have a theme called xyz v1. and we want to update with xyz v2
 by uploading through Dashboard. in this case, we will see error > Parent
 folder already exit.

 I think it should check version of installed and uploaded and if uploaded
 theme is a valid and updated version, wp should update it.

 Right now we can do that only using FTP.
