+ - only on Windows, Linux still problematic
+ - window titles only useable with app = App.focus(title [, index])
+ - a matching app is running or nothing happens 
+ - usage:
+ app = App.focus(title) # first matching app

+ - if app is valid, the window should have come to front

  ------------------ the problem
  Beginning with 1.1.3 an App object is defined only by the executable. Hence the side effect of specifying (part of) the window title (Windows only) to define an App object is no longer available.
  And with that the possibility to focus an app by its window title is gone too.
  
  I will fix it, but it will work slightly different than in 1.1.2
  
  ------------------ workaround using executable
  In case you have some instances of the same executable running, you can currently switch/focus using:
  app = App("executable") # instead of window title
  app.focus(0) # first instance found
  app1 = app.focus(1)
  app2 = app.focus(2)
  ...
  the returned app object's pid is <0 if not valid
  you might also check with appN.isValid()
  
  ------------------ workaround using window title
  import org.sikuli.natives.WinUtil as WinUtil
  App() # once at the beginning to load the native lib
  pid = WinUtil().switchApp(title, index)
  which brings the window to foreground (if exists) and returns the pid (0 if a window with the index is not found)
  In this case you will not have an app object for the window.
  
  ---------------------------------------------------------------
  
  system: windows 10
  situation: There are 5 applications with the same name running on the system. (With different PIDs)
  
  problem:
  In version 1.1.2, I can use App("some-text-of-window-title") to get all the windows of the 5 app. But in version 1.1.4, it failed.
  If I use APP("app-name-show-in-taskmanager"), it only returns the first app-object.
  
  So , I want to know how can I get All the windows that contains the same
  keyword in their window titles. My scripts are as follow(It runs well in
  1.1.2, but failed to find any windows in 1.1.4):
  
  def getApp(sKeyWord):
  
      allClient = App("+%s" % sKeyWord)
      clientList = []
      windowList = []
      if not allClient:
          error_message("No client found with title %s" % sKeyWord)
          return clientList, 0, windowList
      iMainWindowIndex = getMainWindowIndex(sKeyWord)
      for i in range(10):
          oneClient = allClient.focus(i)
          #oneClient = allClient
          pid = oneClient.getPID()
          if pid <= 0:
              break
          info_message("========Client:%d pid=%s=============" % (i, pid))
          w = oneClient.window(iMainWindowIndex)
          if not w.isValid():
              continue
          clientList.append(oneClient)
          windowList.append(w)
      info_message("title = %s, client found:%d" % (sKeyWord, len(clientList)))
      return clientList, len(windowList), windowList
  
  getApp("Revision")
  
  result:
  in 1.1.2:
  [22:37:33][4299:4885] ========Client:0 pid=2932=============
  [22:37:33][4299:4885] ========Client:1 pid=1992=============
  [22:37:33][4316:4885] title = Revision, client found:2
  
  in 1.1.4:
