First get Highslide JS working. (extensions.joomla.org/extensions/style-&-design/scripts/5017/details)

Modification to jwsigpro.xml:

Add Highslide to the popup engine parameters

<option value="highslide">Highslide</option>

Modifications to jwsigpro.php:

In the section "//Add to the document head" insert below the other script options

} elseif ($popup_engine == 'highslide') {
/* jb dont need to include highslide scripts, highslide plugin does that */
$sigheader .= '
<style type="text/css" media="all">
@import "'.$mosConfig_live_site.'/plugins/content/jwsigpro/sigpro_'.$sig_layout.'.css";
</style>';

In the section "//Output"
Add this to "//rel case"

} elseif ($popup_engine == 'highslide') {
$reltag = 'highslide';

That should be enough to get the thumbnails to popup with highslide, except every popup has the caption "Click image to open!"

I'll post the fix for that in another reply.

Also although it doesnt seem to make any difference, I'm not happy that the thumbnails have class="thickbox" and rel="highslide"

To fix captions for highslide:

Move the block of code

// create thumbnails
.
.
.

from below

// if JS is disabled, open links in new window
$html .= '" target="_blank">';

to above

$html .= '</a></div></div>';

(almost at the bottom of the file)

Insert above the block you just moved

// jb Highslide caption from filename or labels.txt not "Click to open"
if ($popup_engine == 'highslide') {
   if(@$labels[md5($mosConfig_absolute_path.$rootfolder.$_images_dir_.'/'.$images[$a])]!="")
   {$clickopen = $final_caption;}
   else { $clickopen = $name.".".$format; }
}

Problems:
The thumbnail caption is displayed behind rather than in front of the thumbnail. I have thumbnail captions turned off so this doesnt worry me.
Single thumbnail mode doesnt work
Highslide displays this tip on the popup - "Click to close image, click and drag to move, use arrow keys for next and previous".
The arrow keys actually close the image.
I think its because highslide doesnt see the thumbnails as part of a group. I might be able to fix that.
