I have tweaked the display 'View all image thumbnails -> Lightbox2 display' in the view 'node_gallery_gallery_image_views'
The absolute list of changes is:

<Basic Settings>
Use AJAX: Yes
Use Pager: Yes
Items per page: 6

<Fields>
Content: Gallery Lightbox2 slideshow: node-gallery-thumbnail->node-gallery-display

All i am trying to do is that the user sees just 6 thumbnails at a time in the full node view, with an ajax pager. When the user clicks on the thumbnails, he should get a Lightbox2 slideshow of the images in the gallery.

However, the problem here is that the slideshow only includes the (current) 6 images. The user has to use the pager to navigate to page-2 of the image set, which will have the next set in the slideshow.... all this does not sound very intuitive...

Does this have a workaround?

Else, Is there an alternative way i can limit the number of thumbnails in the node full view, but still have all in a lightbox2 slideshow?

I am having the same issue, but in a slightly different combination. I have created two new content types Slideshow and Slideshow Image with their own imagecache settings. I then created a gallery relationship for them in the Node Gallery main settings interface. The problem is that in Common Settings, the limit on thumbnails per gallery page is global. I need to be able to have a different limit on the other gallery relationship. I'm getting the same results where I need the pager to switch between pages, which looks dumb in the fancy jquery interface.

njathan - this isn't a NG issue, it's a Lightbox2 issue: http://drupal.org/node/322254 - there is an interesting workaround involving imagecache that may work for you.

Samlet9908 - this issue is for 3.x, which is not what you're posting about. NG3 will resolve your issue I believe.
