      Hi, I using SourceTree for a long time but I have a annoying problem for opening file with external editor.

      Here a reproduce steps:

      1. Open an any git project.
      2. Edit or create some file, the file will show up in stage files and unstage files.
      3. Drap that file directly to editor (e.g. Visual studio code or Sublime text)
      4. It appear "The file can’t be found." popup.

      Here is the video:

      The earlier version can successful open without any error.

      Now I have to click "Show in finder" then drag-n-drop. It's very unintuitive.

      Can fix this small problem? Thanks.

            I understand everybody uses sourcetree differently, but personally I run into this bug nearly daily, and that's frustrating.

            Here is SourceTree 3.2.1 demo video. As you can see, it works properly.

            But in SourceTree 4.0, this feature is broken since this version.
