 * Thumbnails are beeing generated automatically now, its great! But for some reason
   they are not being generated for images larger then 1024×768 (I’ve checked on
   1240 and failed).
    In inline-uploading.php I’ve removed all the size checkouts
   there, so thumbnail function wp_create_thumbnail() would ALWAYS execute – but
   still, function can’t create thumbnails for bigger images. Is it some kind of
   limitation?

 * Im not 100% sure this is the problem, but it could be.
 * When the script is told to make a thumbnail, it will decompress the image in 
   the memory on the server and then make a thumbnail with that. The thing is that
   a 2mpixel image will be around 30mb in RAW (it’s raw when its in the memory on
   the server) and a PHP script can only use 30mb in a script with the usual/default
   settings and the picture will take up that space.
    So maybe that is your problem.
