convert json to dmp doesn't find json file

-s, --source <filename|host|url>
                        source used for the Tasmota configuration (default: None). Specify source type, path, file, user,
                        password, hostname, port and topic at once as an URL. The URL must be in the form
                        'scheme://[username[:password]@]host[:port][/topic]|pathfile'where scheme is 'file' for a tasmota binary
                        config file, 'http' for a Tasmota HTTP web connection and 'mqtt(s)' for Tasmota MQTT transport ('mqtts'
                        uses a TLS connection to MQTT server)

the point is the sentence part "'file' for a tasmota binary config file", see also left side "Source" in overview diagram on README - you can't use a json as source.

I do not see the benefit converting a json into a dmp.

For full explanation:

• you can simply use the edited json direclty as restore file for the newly device: -s http://newtasmota -i Config_newdev_12.5.0.json
• if you want to take your cumbersome way via json -> dmp -> GUI Restore:
  copy your Config_kaffee_12.5.0.dmp to Config_newdev_12.5.0.dmp and use this as source: -s Config_newdev_12.5.0.dmp -i Config_newdev_12.5.0.json - finally use your GUI and restore Config_newdev_12.5.0.dmp

first is the prefered way

Thanks a lot for your efforts and clarifications, @curzon01
Somehow I didn't realize, that it's possible to restore the json file straight to the Tasmota device :-/
Works like a charm :-)
