Board seems session specific, not sketch specific

I am developing using a ATMega2560 R3 with inbuilt ESP8266. As a result I am continuously flipping back and forward between sketches for the two boards. When I flip from one sketch to another, and compile, it always fails because the board is set to the previous board type. How can I flip between sketches, which use different boards, without having to re-specify the board each time?

For IDE 1.8.x you can open two instances of the IDE. That is, double click the icon (if you use that) for one and double click again for another instance

Each instance can have its own board and port.

If you use file->open, you open a file in the same instance of the IDE and you have to change all the time
