Views Galleria usage - what fields should be included in the view?

Issue Summary

I am trying to make this work but no luch so far. I have a content type Gallery with an imagefield gal_pictures in it. I am creating a view and set the filters and arguments (those work). I select Views Galleria for a style and it seems i am missing the last part: what field shall I include in the view? Obviously that has to be my gal_pictures field but then what ImageCache preset shall I choose for it? I have a "large" and a "thumb" presets defined and I even have a Galleria preset (because of the presence of Galleria itself). Now which one should I choose?

I chose the "large" preset and the result was a bunch of images overlapping and changings constantly.

I know that you can get it to work with an imagefield through the Lightbox2 options. The first imagecache preset becomes the thumbnail. The second preset becomes the full view version. Lightbox isn't actually used, either.

I know in the Galleria module, you can edit the settings at "/admin/settings/galleria". In those settings, you can choose which ImageCache preset to use for the main image, and what preset to use for thumbnails.

I know you're talking about what preset to choose in the view itself, but what if just send the raw image from the view, and let the Galleria settings apply the ImageCache presets when it loads the gallery, rather than trying have the View send already processed images. Hope that makes sense. I haven't tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Also: For some reason galleria isn't liking my jquery include. So I had to delete my jquery include for galleria to work. Might help, might not.

there is no setting page (/admin/settings/galleria) for this module thus there is no way to choose the imagecache preset.
This module doesn't seem to work with imagecache. I chose to display the row image in the view but I get the same behaviour (bunch of images overlapping and changing constantly).
