Description
When a non-existent sketchbook folder is specified, the IDE gives a popup saying "Sketchbook folder disappeared", saying it will revert to the default sketchbook folder. However, instead of doing that, it just quits, without opening up the IDE interface.
To reproduce:
```
arduino --pref sketchbook.path=/nonexistent
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the reported `arduino --pref sketchbook.path=/nonexistent` command and trace the startup path that handles the “Sketchbook folder disappeared” popup. Done means the IDE opens its interface after reverting to the default sketchbook folder instead of quitting.
