Use this method if you expect to have no more than four sets of gnucash 
books. The reason is that the "open file" menu will give you a drop down 
list of the last four you had open making selection of which books to 
open easy.

Like you, it is unpredictable whether I will want to (re)open the set of 
books I last had open or open a different set. So far I have never been 
keeping books for more than four entities at a time.
