new posts with attached media sometimes auto-mark the media as Unlisted and no description

bug's been active for at least 2.5 months

There's just been an update whereby adding at least one hashtag is now mandatory, I will see if the issue is still present and if is I'll reopen this.

oops, still true

A recent example of this issue
The new post looks good: https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/899908873232068608
but its media is Unlisted and has no description: https://www.minds.com/media/899908863746908160

expected: its media is Public and has the same description as the post itself. (this is what usually happens)

another example:
new media post https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/900575609187295232
and its auto empty desc.+Unlisted media: https://www.minds.com/media/900575600754589696

here's a new post whose media(picture) is unlisted and without description: https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/901796533519941632
its media is: https://www.minds.com/media/901796524812046336

here's a post with a video media: https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/901803776967200768
its media: https://www.minds.com/media/901803754492428288

New public post on my channel: https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/904507476901556224
Its media is auto-marked as Unlisted and it didn't inherit post's description(ie. it's empty): https://www.minds.com/media/904507447725977600

So I uploaded 9 pics and 9 vids, out of which only 5 got this bug, so 27.7% hit rate.

Just noticed a side effect of this issue:
is that the Explicit tag on the media is also lost, so the media is not only set as unlisted and without any description, but its Explicit tag is also unset

EDIT: "Unlisted" just got renamed to "Only Me" today(08nov2018), but this issue still exists.

Closing because lost interest :D
If anyone still encounters this, create a new issue or (unlikely) ask Members to re-open this.

I've concluded that fixing #57 will actually fix this too, because media is set to Only Me (previously known as Unlisted) after the upload succeeded but before Post button is pressed, and it also has no description, therefore the reason it remains so is because after the Post button is pressed, minds-engine tries setting new description+visibility which fails(sometimes!) for the same reason(s) that #57 fails! (and that fails for setting description also, not just visibility)

so, you're welcome for all this good information :)))))

EDIT: bugs are still in effect(even tho Only Me became Unlisted again) now 30dec2018, so sad heh :D
