Description

i'd like to propose two changes:

  1. every time the user clicks "generate" or "update" we open the folder. this acts as confirmation that it worked. only pop up the modal if there is an error.
  2. next to "generate" or "update" we have "generate and launch" or "update and launch" which opens the project file itself.

i think the way it's designed now is very useful for PG development/debugging, but the more i use it the more it feels unnecessary to open the modal every time. i really just want to open the project file after i've updated it.

Research direction

Start by locating the generate and update actions in the projectGenerator UI and trace their current modal behavior. Done means successful actions open the project folder, errors still show the modal, and separate generate-and-launch or update-and-launch actions open the project file itself.
