Comment (by Presskopp):
Forgive me, ICNR:
''I was able to insert a salami in my drive, but it didn't error, it just
didn't play. I feel we should give some feedback that this isn't
supported. Yes, it doesn't play the salami but it shouldn't just reshow
the 'Insert CD' call. This is what you see after having seemingly gone
through mounting working - the salami is mounted as empty disc.''
It reads a bit like that because it demands an image, and no video or pdf
or mp3. We now could
1) not let the user upload non-image files here at all
2) let them upload whatever is allowed, but give a warning "Filetype not
supported, please upload a valid image file - your file has been uploaded
anyway and you will find it in the media library, but you still don't have
a featured image"
3) open up this function to allow videos as 'featured media' if a theme
would allow such
4) leave it as it is
