Adjusting max import size: total pixel size VS 10000x10000 max (for panoramas)

Question

1.1 has been an amazing update. However, I found out there is a 10,000 pixel limit width and height. While I understand the reason for this (a 10,000 x 10,000 pixel image is huge) I create a lot of panoramics. Most are imported, but some exceed the 10,000 pixel limit on one side only (example: width) while the hight is a mere ~1800 pixels.
Is there a way to adjust the import function so that it can import images that might be panoramics at 10000-20000 pixels but not as tall, so that I do not have to keep copies of my originals and crop down to 10,000 on one side?

No the plain simple fact is they did use their brains when <br />deciding that and they can't say well we just didn't figure it would be a <br />problem. They were blasted for years because of the size limit in Photoshop <br />that clearly indicates that photographers and others do work on images <br />larger than 10,000 pixels in size.<br /><br />Robert
