Description

Hi,
I'm on Linux with oF 0.9.2. I just downloaded oF and compiled the project generator.

After starting, I added my project info. When I then click Generate, a new project generator window opens up. If I close that, I get the old window with Success! Your can now find your project in [oF]/apps/myApps/mySketch.
However, when I go to that directory, it doesn't actually exist. Also, clicking on Open in IDE results in a crash.

This happens regardless of whether I add my own info or just leave everything on the default values.

Is there any way to build the old project generator in oF 0.9.2?

I attached the console output.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the project generator on Linux with the default values described in the issue, then review the attached pg-log.txt console output. Verify whether the project is created at the reported path and whether Open in IDE still crashes; done means generation succeeds and the IDE action no longer crashes.
