Support multiple windows about electron-window-state

[mawie81]

If you do not mind having multiple files then can currently simply pass different filenames for each windowStateKeeper instance:

let mainWindowState = windowStateKeeper({
    file: 'main.json',
    defaultWidth: 1000,
    defaultHeight: 800
  });

let settingsWindowState = windowStateKeeper({
    file: 'settings.json',
    defaultWidth: 1000,
    defaultHeight: 800
  });

I haven't done much digging yet, but It might be as simple as adding an optional identifier string, like

let mainWindowState = windowStateKeeper({
  id: 'main',
  defaultWidth: 1000
})

let preferencesWindowState = windowStateKeeper({
  id: 'preferences',
  defaultWidth: 500
})

Extended the documentation of the file attribute.

Hey @mawie81 thanks for creating this module! It's working great so far.

But I think I just ran into this issue. Is the module designed to only persist the state for a single window?

This would be an extremely nice feature to have. I currently have a multi-window application and if I use electron-window-state to manage the state of each window and I resize all the open windows to different sizes and place them in different locations when I restart the application, all of the windows will use the size and location of the last window to be adjusted. This lays all the windows on top of each other and at the same size instead of preserving the state of each individual window.

Any idea of you will be implementing this?

Adding the 'file' attribute works beautifully. Thanks!

It would be good to document this tip in the README somewhere.

I have a trick question:

Is it possible to create one 'application config'.json file to store and manage different browser windows?
Will it have all the properties associated with each browser window and there should be a point of reference provided by the programmer?

Newbie here!
