There is a notice in the output of the program...

```auto
File transferring...0
File transferring...14322847
File xfer complete. Size=14322847
Filesize = 14322847. Too big for Joplin, skipping upload

```

Just adhering to Joplin's 10mb size limit:

If this ever changes, I can remove the code which causes the uploader to ignore largeish files.

Thanks!
