The "Activate if already running" option in QAP works if the target application is visible to QAP (minimized or not).
The issue with Quick Clipboard Editor is that when you close the window, it becomes invisible (hidden) to QAP and QAP thinks it has to launch it. Then, you have two instances of the app running.
I don't have a solution to this issue at this time. We would need an additional option in QAP that would say "Activate if already running hidden". Before adding this to the wishlist, let me think a little more about that. -

Additional info: this issue is related to the other issue about "Start in" folder. If your QAP favorite for QCE indicates the "Start in" folder, you will NOT have two instances of the app running. Instead, QCE will be simply relaunched. -

Why would you start an application that is already running?
Start QAP with Windows, then use the excellent "Launch this favorite at startup" function in QAP to launch QCE, and/or combine it with the also excellent Group-function, and then forget about it.

The point is about the "If the application is already running, activate it". Not to launch the app but just to bring the window at top. But in the case of QCE, if the window is hidden, QAP will restart it.
