Show max files warning message for initial project

If the max number of files limit is achieved when the application
is starting the StatusView is not yet configured so we cannot
show the warning.

We show the warning in the function scanning the directory only if
the StatusView is up. On the other side, when the application starts
it will check if the initial project dir hit the max files limit and
show the warning if needed.
