gourmet crashed with TypeError in update_action_group(): cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects

Tried to open a freshly imported recipe on an empty database to fix up some of the import issues. Kaboom! It was the first recipe to be put into the program.

Had a second crash. It turns out the program is not completely shutting down but keeps going even though it seems to think it is crashing. Was able to continue editing the recipe and saving it. Obviously not a showstopper.

The issue you're experiencing happens if you import a web page, but remove the preselection for the title field and don't select anything else as title. The fix will be to set the title to something generic in case nothing has been selected, e.g. "New Recipe from example.com". I'll need to look into the code to find where to put this.
