Reproduction steps

When adding a custom machine definition to the resources/definitions folder, if there is another machine definition that has the same manufacturer, if the two printers use different capitalizations of the manufacturer's name (i.e. FlashForge vs Flashforge), then the printers that have the manufacturer's name capitalized differently do not show up in the "add non-networked printers" UI. I was trying to use Eugr's FlashForge Creator Pro profile to set up this printer. I installed it according to the steps on that GitHub page (copy-pasting the files into the Cura configurations folder, installing the plugin, and restarting Cura), but the printer wasn't showing up. After about half an hour of pulling my hair out, I realized that, in the list of printers, there was a Flashforge Dreamer printer. Upon looking more closely, I noticed that it spelled FlashForge with the second F lower-case. On a whim, I figured "why not, I might as well try to see if that would fix it", and lo and behold, I edited the config file to spell FlashForge with the second F lower-case, and boom, my Creator Pro suddenly appeared.

Actual results

If the printer's manufacturer's name is capitalized differently from another printer with the same manufacturer, then it doesn't show up in the "Add non-networked printer" UI. When the capitalization is edited in the definition file to match the other printer, the printer appears.

Original definition file:

Made the F lowercase:

Printer shows up in the list now:

Expected results

The printer should have showed up in the "Add non-networked printers" UI regardless of the capitalization differences of the manufacturer's name.

I'll put it on the list to discuss with colleagues. We'll keep you informed.

EDIT: Thanks for the screenshots b.t.w., not everyone is that kind :-)
