Comment(by annakrat):

 I used `EncodeString` in r63997, r63998. I tested it successfully on
 Windows (cp1252) with ascii characters and non-ascii characters which are
 not present in cp1252 result in error dialog with message how to avoid
 that. However, I failed to run the script when the name contained non-
 ascii characters present in cp1252 (á). I don't get any error, but in gui
 console I get:
