as result, the FlashTool does not show any FTF file in the firmware-to-flash selection dialog.

Workaround:
If I download https:/Androxyde/devices/archive/refs/heads/master.zip and unzip manually into ~/.flashTool/devices, the FlashTool after its restart detects my FTF files - I see the choice in the firmware selection dialog after selecting the folder with the FTF file.

Suggestion:
Instead of calling git, you can download the files from Github as a ZIP file from HTTP: https:/Androxyde/devices/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
