Can't use external editor for editing source if the note has special characters (on Windows)

[Negirno]

Platform: Windows 7 SP2
Zim version: 0.60
DEBUG: Gtk version is (2, 24, 10)
DEBUG: Pygtk version is (2, 24, 0)

I tried to make open my notes in Notepad++ from Zim, with Tools|Edit Source, but if the file has special characters in them, the function doesn't work properly.

In the case of extended latin characters (such as á é í ó ú), Zim prompted that it failed to run Notepad++.
The following error message appeared in the file zim-daemon.log:

ERROR: Failed running: C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "zim\applications.pyo", line 249, in spawn
GError: Invalid string in argument vector at 1: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input

In the case of Asian characters, Zim calls Notepad++ successfully, however, it changed the special characters in the file name into question marks in the parameter. For example: 日本語-notes.txt becomes ???-notes.txt. This confuses Notepad++ which assumes that the file doesn't exist.
This time, zim.log got a message, which reads:

C:\Program Files\Zim Desktop Wiki\zim.exe\zim\gui\widgets.py:3329: Warning: WaitForMultipleObjectsEx failed: A leíró érvénytelen.

(note: the string "A leíró érvénytelen" means "handle is invalid", or "descriptor is invalid" in Hungarian)

Hope this helps.
