/*! \page singleinstance How To Enable Single Instance Support For the Application
|
|
|
|
Usually user wants his application to be run as a single instance. This means,
|
|
that if the launched application is already running, the existing application
|
|
window is activated and no new application processes are started.
|
|
|
|
This can be achieved by adding --single-instance to the invoker
|
|
command in the .desktop file:
|
|
|
|
\verbatim
|
|
[Desktop Entry]
|
|
Type=Application
|
|
Name=My Application
|
|
Exec=/usr/bin/invoker --single-instance --type=e /usr/bin/myApp
|
|
\endverbatim
|
|
|
|
As a result, a lock file
|
|
\c /var/run/single-instance-locks/myApp/instance.lock is created.
|
|
If applauncherd cannot acquire the lock, it tries to find the corresponding
|
|
window and activates it.
|
|
|
|
Consider using --single-instance instead of the single instance functionality
|
|
provided by D-Bus, because it very likely is much faster.
