Using Configuration|Thumbnails the values can be altered but this is a work-around not a solution. Want to be able to keep the other resolutions in place as needed on the fly depending on images being examined.

To be perfectly clear, the idea is to be able to choose between resolutions one, two or three and then keep it locked as the new default.

Thank you for volunteering your time in this matter. Perhaps the moral is for me to finally get around and learn to script.

//Cycle thumbs
  getkey $thumbwidth1, "Width", "Thumbs";
  getkey $thumbheight1, "Height", "Thumbs";
  getkey $thumbwidth2, "Width1", "Thumbs";
  getkey $thumbheight2, "Height1", "Thumbs";
  getkey $thumbwidth3, "Width2", "Thumbs";
  getkey $thumbheight3, "Height2", "Thumbs";
  $Userinput = Input ("Change Thumbs order", "Your current Thumbs order is 1-2-3: <crlf> Thumbs #1 ($thumbwidth1 x $thumbheight1) <crlf> Thumbs #2 ($thumbwidth2 x $thumbheight2) <crlf> Thumbs #3 ($thumbwidth3 x $thumbheight3) <crlf><crlf> To change your thumbs order to: <crlf> 2-3-1 input 2 <crlf> 3-1-2 input 3", 2, s);
 
  IF ($Userinput == 1) {
  status "#1:($thumbwidth1 x $thumbheight1), #2:($thumbwidth2 x $thumbheight2), #3:($thumbwidth3 x $thumbheight3)"; 
  end $Userinput == 1, "Thumbs order is same as now";
  }

  ELSEIF ($Userinput == 2){
  #182;
  setkey $thumbwidth2, "Width", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbheight2, "Height", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbwidth3, "Width1", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbheight3, "Height1", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbwidth1, "Width2", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbheight1, "Height2", "Thumbs";
  status "#1:($thumbwidth2 x $thumbheight2), #2:($thumbwidth3 x $thumbheight3), #3:($thumbwidth1 x $thumbheight1)"; 
  }

  ELSEIF ($Userinput == 3){
  #182;
  setkey $thumbwidth3, "Width", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbheight3, "Height", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbwidth1, "Width1", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbheight1, "Height1", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbwidth2, "Width2", "Thumbs";
  setkey $thumbheight2, "Height2", "Thumbs";
  status "#1:($thumbwidth3 x $thumbheight3), #2:($thumbwidth1 x $thumbheight1), #3:($thumbwidth2 x $thumbheight2)"; 
  }

  ELSE {
   MSG "Invalid value, Enter 1, 2 or 3";
  }
  MSG "Thumbs will be reordered only after XY restart (without saving). Restart now?", 1;

Your code uses a brute force method to alter Configuration but it does get the job done. Forty-six lines containing almost 2,000 characters to get what appeared like a fairly simple task accomplished. How long have you been at this? (And once learning ancient Greek seemed difficult.)

The menu is very well presented also. Suggest you submit this to the Script Library.

Copious thanks for helping a fellow xy aficionado.

Yes, that would be nice.
