I believe the issue is related to the filesize 10.6mb ... By default, we have maxFileSize setting at 10MB, which is inherited from the plugin to protect from various issues (resizing, uploading). I guess we could increase this value to 15 or 20MB perhaps ...

Don't worry, it's not related to your server or anything. It's just a precaution for the client-side resizer. For now, until I can fix in next release, you would need to resize this image from your desktop, so its smaller than 10MB before upload.

If one day you are looking for a new feature, increase the allowed size (but to what limit? mid range camera's produce 15-20mb JPG's these days )

Yah, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't increase it. It is however something each user should be aware of when uploading that size images ... For example, 100 x images at 15MB each would require a huge amount of processing time in the browser ... I imagine it could take several minutes before you can even click the 'upload' button. Also, if you are ambitious about best quality resizing, you would likely be better off resizing your images (to 1600-2000px long side for example) from a desktop application prior to upload. The resize quality of the javascript-uploader may not be the best, but for sure it is most practical.
