More ways of making the settings window appear #58

By mistake we often launch multiple copies of the app just because we want to change mob settings. It would be great if the app detected that an instance is already running if you launch it from the dock, and if so, bring up the settings window. Also cmd-tabbing to the mobster app when a session is already running should bring up the settings window. Pressing the show/hide keyboard shortcut is not as intuitive.

We use OSX

Thank you for reporting the issue @rrva! I recently discovered this problem, I've seen that you can get multiple timer windows when you launch it from the launch bar when it's already running. I'll work on a fix for this when I have some cycles. Thanks!

I have experienced this same problem. An alternative solution is that the big "Continue" button just checks for an existing session, and if one is running, functions as the "hide" button does. It's easy to accidentally alt-tab to the program and then mistakenly hit "continue," launching multiple sessions.
