Subject: [PATCH] app: Generate All says so when every scene is excluded

Found by the adversarial pass on the exclude commit: every other
early-return in generateAll() says something (empty load, cancelled,
N failed) except this one -- excluding every scene made the button do
nothing with no feedback, indistinguishable from a hang.
