Filter Forge - Switch option

Rawn (RawArt) Texture Artist Posts: 803 Filters: 103	Quite often i want to make a switch in my filters to give a "this or that" option, But the switch tool wont allow me to submit with only 2 options, and tells me to use a checkbox. This checkbox thing is not always do-able for some of the switches I want to do. What I have been doing is making a third switch option and simply having it repeat one of the other options. Its a usable workaround, but I would much rather be able to have the switch tool allow me to make switches between 2 things instead. Any ideas? (or maybe I am not understanding how to put the checkbox in properly...I can accept that too LOL) Rawn
