Feature Request: sketch properties

[orgicus]

Processing saves a sketch.properties which store minimal data about the Processing mode the sketch uses.

Would it be possible to have a similar sketch.properties file that instead stores the Board and maybe Port information ?

This would simplify switching between different sketches that uses different boards

This feature has been requested multiple times (see #5121 for example), right now there is no plan to implement it (in the desktop IDE) using additional files but we are evaluating other methods. Create already handles it in a transparent way, maybe try giving it a spin 😉

This is now possible. See arduino/arduino-ide#2438 .
