From 35e5e782aca29aa715c93eba80af072a26f6bc05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Matthew Gordon <matthew.gordon@arm.com>
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2019 14:56:23 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] Added option to only allow a single instance of the Electron
 app.

If a second instance is opened, it closes immediately and the original
instance receives focus.
