The setup:

 - 
Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional $k$-algebra over some field $k$.
 - 
Let $\mathcal{B} = Hot^-(Proj \, A)$ denote the homotopy category of cochain complexes of (possibly infinitely generated) projective right $A$-modules which are bounded from the right. This category can be identified with the right-bounded derived category $D^-(Mod  \, A)$ of $A$-modules.
 - 
Let $\mathcal{C} = Hot^-(proj  \, A)$ denote the full subcategory of $\mathcal{B}$ given by right-bounded complexes of *finitely generated* projective $A$-modules. In different terms, this category corresponds to the right-bounded derived category
$D^-(mod \, A)$ of finitely generated $A$-modules.
 - 
Let $P$ be a perfect object of $\mathcal{B}$, that is, a bounded complex of finitely generated projective right $A$-modules. 
Assume also that $P$ is a **weak generator** of the subcategory $\mathcal{C}$, so for any object $X \in \mathcal{C}$  there is some integer $m$ and some non-zero morphism $P \to X[m]$ in $\mathcal{C}$.

My question:

> Is $P$ already a weak generator of the big category $\mathcal{B}$?

Some background:

 1. By a result of Jeremy Rickard, the answer is affirmative if $P$ is a partial tilting complex, that is, if $Hom_{\mathcal{B}}(P,P[n])=0$ for any non-zero integer $n$.

 2. By a result of Bruno J. Müller, any projective $A$-module is a (possibly infinite) direct sum of finitely generated projective $A$-modules.

3. (*corrected*) $P$ is a weak generator of the category $Hot(Proj \,A)$ if and only if $P$ is a **classical generator** of the category $Hot^b(proj \,A)$, that is, the smallest triangulated category containing $P$ (which is closed under cones, shifts, isomorphisms and direct summands) is given by the homotopy category of bounded complexes of finitely generated projective $A$-modules.
This implies that if $P$ was a classical generator of $Hot^b(proj \,A)$, then $P$ would be a weak generator of $\mathcal{B}$.

Please write me if you know the original reference of this fact.

4. At least, $P$ is a weak generator of the homotopy category of complexes of projective $A$-modules which have finitely generated cohomology at each degree.


Any comments and any input will be very appreciated.
