Persist state across restarts (maybe?) #4

Persisting across application restart would be easy (window handlers are the same) but of dubious usefulness.

Persisting across operating system reboots is a different beast, because it's difficult to match the correct windows / processes, e.g. I usually have 2-3 Chrome windows and I don't want them mixed up.

There is some work in commit dce4166c9cc9ff95a1e586cdd45b5bb0c531f2b7 already, I should take a look at that.

Hey - really useful tool, thank you - I suppose after 4 years there's still no hope for recovery across OS reboots? I did wonder if you could use this spoofing technique? https://pentestlab.blog/2020/02/24/parent-pid-spoofing/
