I have uninstalled node_gallery, but display field settings for CCK image fields are still showing choices for integrating the image with Node_Gallery. How do I fix this?

system path admin/build/imagecache/list

I found a div container in (gallery-image-thumbnail.tpl.php)

<div class="image-thumbnail-view <?php if ($type) print
"image-thumbnail-". $type?>">

This class does not exist in any css file?

Answer: We often provide classes that we do not use in the module's CSS to aid theme developers.

Is there an ImageCache preset that links to the original file?

Answer: At this time there is not, but may be added in the future. The only way to do it now is to add a preset that has no actions assigned to it. Which will load the image through imagecache in original size.
