"Save as" is not working in "historical view" on deleted files

Hi, when I am in "history" changes menu, and I want to save as file that was deleted from that commit via right click on item and choose from menu and choose save as is not working. I was trying on binary and text files, is not working for both.

Fork - v1.54.2.0 + develop channel
w10 - v10.0.19041
git is set to "Fork Git" in version 2.62.2.windows.1

weird is, that after open default view in file explorer I could see that files but even after click on option "open file location" it open just downloads without that exported files. I tried to look also under other user dirs but without any succeed. I also tried to export to other location, but again, any succeed.

I guess that's because the file doesn't exist in this commit anymore.

May be we should handle this case in a special way and use SHA^ instead...

Oh, I understand.

Yeah handling this could be very useful, I believe that also have possibility in menu - "save previous version as" will be useful in some scenarios.
