Bypass forced scene loading in editor

Hi Devs,

I’d like to propose the following feature: When you open a PlayCanvas project in the editor, the scene-selection dialog should not block other input / can be minimized. I want to:

• Quickly open the code editor when looking things up at an older project (without the need to load a scene)
• Work in development branch, merge master branch in development, switch to master branch (without the need to load a scene), merge development into master, switch back to development.
  In both cases I don’t want to be forced to select a scene or the browser to load a scene.

Best,

Start by locating the editor's scene-selection dialog and the code path that opens it when a PlayCanvas project loads. Check how the dialog handles browser input and whether the editor can remain usable without a loaded scene. Done means users can minimize or bypass the dialog, use the code editor and switch branches without being forced to load a scene.
