Have links to deleted files in the control panel link to the parent folder

This is more a bug report really than an idea.

In the control panel (left-click on Dropbox icon in system tray), deleted files are shown in the history but clicking the link to the folder brings up an error message "Can't find this file on your computer." Well, duh, it's deleted, isn't it? :=)

So the link should go to the next-available parent folder. Or there should be no link at all, it's counter-intuitive to click on something and be told off for doing so.

Thx,

Ed
