Single instance
« on: March 19, 2018, 03:33:48 AM »
Hey guys. I wanted to say I'd appreciate a way to have RetroFE be limited to one instance only.

A use case scenario is for a remote controller to launch RetroFE by opening it's .exe. Opening it works fine, but if I switch to another program (all of which are in single instance mode) by opening their .exe from the remote, and then I want to go back to RetroFE from the controller, this second opening of RetroFE's .exe will launch a second instance, rather than going back to the first one.

It sounds like something that could be solved with a batch script and a lock file. Have you tried that?
