Bug Description

If multiple instances of OpenLP are running at the same time, then it can cause confusion, issues with the Remote plugin, I think there has also been an instance of sqlite database locking. Probably not desirable.

Suggestion to investigate whether we can detect another instance and exit gracefully if there is. However note that a downside is that if the OpenLP UI has crashed but the process is still running, this can cause problems for the user...
