Turning on Dedicated Directory only writes the marker file, so the instance starts in an empty folder and the worlds made while it shared .minecraft stay behind. Since 96ac59a there's a "Sync From Shared Folder" button that copies them, but nothing points you to it at the moment you switch.

Now, when the switch to dedicated succeeds, the settings page opens that same sync prompt. You can pick Sync (or "Settings only" when a newer version also uses the shared folder) or Cancel to skip. Worlds already in the dedicated folder are left alone, same as the button.

Switching back to shared is unchanged. If the switch fails (game running, reset in progress, imported modpacks) the prompt doesn't show.

Fixes #785

cluster that was switched to dedicated dir doesn't transfer worlds (leaving them in shared dir)
