Is it possible to run files in the same folder (sketch) separately?

I have two files (\*.pde) in one sketch folder. I need to open them separately and run them separately. Is there a way to do this? If so, what is it?

Thanks in advance!

No, basically one sketch needs it own folder

When you have multiple pdes in one folder, they are tabs of one sketch

So you can run both sketches but from different folders OR you merge them into one sketch; so only one setup and one draw etc.
