[Bug] language selector "all" is cleared when wrong media format is uploaded

[rowild]

I have a product with a meta description text. The language of that text is set to "All" (like in the demo data that comes with Aimeos).

When I upload a mp3-file to the media section – a file format that seems not be be allowed (why??) – an (not very descriptive) error is shown in the notification that pops up. There is no indication as to where this error happens or why.

Clicking "save" for a 2nd time reveals that the error seems to be with the meta description text, where the selected language was reset to "Please select".

From this point on every editing is lost, because a simple removal of the problematic data does not fix the "save" problem, the erro keeps popping up, even though there is not audio file anymore and the language is set to "all" again.

I uploaded a short video about my workflow here:
https://dl.rowild.at/aimeos-media-upload-problem.mp4

I would expect
1. a better and correct error message (because the problem seems to be that mp3 is not an accepted file format; this should be the error message)
2. that audio files are allowed (video files are, so why not audio files?)
3. that removing the file fixes the error and allows saving again

There's a list of accepted mime types for security reasons which you can extend by your own file types:

The error message is very general because it's not an exception that is marked as "save" at the moment. Therefore, it's only logged and you can see it in the log panel of the admin backend. We want to move the media controller code to the media manager and then, the error message will be better.

Clicking "save" for a 2nd time reveals that the error seems to be with the meta description text, where the selected language was reset to "Please select".

The language seems to be lost on errors. Can you please check if it's lost in the template or in the class:

Please have a look in my other post auf audio files upload, where I address more problems. I cannot do what you ask me to here, until those problems are addressed.

Tried at the Aimeos admin demo https://admin.demo.aimeos.org/ but were unable to reproduce the issue seen in your video ...

Did you use an audio file? I can reproduce the issue in the Admin Demo.

[aimeos]

Yes, used and MP3 file but the language of the text is still "All" after the content is saved and the error message displayed. Can you please make a video while demonstrating at https://admin.demo.aimeos.org/?

You are right, the "All" lang does not change in the Laravel demo. (But the audio file can still not be uploaded.)
However, it does get lost in my composer-installed TYPO3 instance on all-inkl , and I made another video to demonstrate that:

https://dl.rowild.at/aimeos-typo3-upload-probem.mp4

However, this problem disappears as soon as the audio mimetypes will be implemented. (I think you just merged that PR.) So most likely this problem will disappear.

Sode note: With audio mimetypes implemented and no audio player feature, the upload will show an "unknown-filetype" icon when uploading an audio file. It would be nice to have at least icons that show the format/file ending. But I don't find the icons anywhere in the aimeos eco system. (There will be an "application-pdf.png", when uploading a pdf, but event that icon is nowhere to find in any of the aimeos extensions. ???)
