    Image import crashes on "file name" URL

     This is just a bug report.   I've already figured out a work-around for the problem, so I'm good.

    Here's what I did, and what happened:

    1. I created a recipe
    2. I found an image online I wanted to use with the recipe
    3. I couldn't paste the URL into the text box next to image, so I hit the browse button.
    4. When the "Choose an image|(.jpg)" dialog box popped up, I pasted the URL into the "File Name" text box and hit the Open button
    5. I got a message box saying "BigOven for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and offering me the opportunity to send a report to Microsoft

    Then, I figured out the right way to get an image from the web into a recipe

    1. Get Bigoven running again
    2. Right-click on the image in the web browser and choose "Copy" from the menu that pops up
    3. In BigOven, click the "paste jpg" button on the Notes/Tags tab

    And that worked fine. 
    I'm just reporting the results of "stupid user" testing.  Maybe some future BigOven can inspect the "File Name" string so it can recognize bad ones and avoid a crash.

    Thanks

    Thanks much.  We'll check into it and try to prevent these types of URLs from being entered.
