Problems

About 3 years ago, I tried to customized MeasureBandsSmoothed.inc, but there were issues with performance and CPU usage. Back then, I didn't considered users with slower PC, which kinda disappointing.

Solution

This time, I added the 'switch' feature in variable file. I discovered this 'switch' thing about 1-2 years ago, which kinda neat. Without modifying the default MeasureBandsSmoothed file (but renaming it to MeasureBandsSmoothed0.inc), 'switch' allows users to switch between the default and the customized file by using number. I added my customized file (MeasureBandsSmoothed1.inc) to give an idea how the 'switch' works.

Additional Information

For my 'multipliers' and 'divider' thing, that's only used for my custom MeasureBandsSmoothed file.

Summary

So the main point here is, for any user who want to use any custom MeasureBandsSmoothed file without modifying the default file(even changing the file's extension to .bak), 'switch' is the solution. [I'm sorry if I'm repeating this again]

What do you think?
