Sorry for so many small updates this week!
There were a lot of minor and quick to fix issues people brought up like only 1 desktop showing in the window selection list, a CPU usage issue, and a few other minor bugs.
To avoid the wait times of going through beta testing, I just pushed them straight to live as they were pretty important fixes! :)

This only gets a changelog as it's got several fixes in one update. Now that these issues have been ironed out, I'll continue to work on new features!

Thanks for your patience and support.
Sorry about the issues with settings files resetting! These issues weren't brought to my attention during beta testing, if you want to help avoid these issues in the future, please help test the beta branch and provide your feedback in our Discord! Thanks!

Changelog for 08-12-2019

08-12-2019
- Added OVR Toolkit Settings application. (This should not show as 'Not Responding' all the time!)
- OVR Toolkit's main application now launches with no UI but starts the settings app on launch.
- Added 'Kiosk Mode' option to config.json. This will block opening/closing Edit Mode for use in VR arcades.
- Added 'Headless Mode' option to config.json. This will stop OVR Toolkit automatically opening the Settings UI, closing SteamVR should close the program instead, or it can be done through Task Manager.
- Fixed an issue with the settings.json file resetting to default on startup.

- Fixed a CPU usage issue when using Vive Wands.
- Fixed being able to click 'Select window' and 'Spawn window' whilst editing hotkeys.
