Subdownloader crash on paths with accents

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a file on /home/ced/Vídeo and search subtitles
2. Close the program
3. Try to execute the program

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

$ python /opt/subdownloader/SubDownloader.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/subdownloader/SubDownloader.py", line 396, in <module>
    SubDownloaderApp = MainApp(0)

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", 
line 7757, in __init__
    self._BootstrapApp()

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", 
line 7354, in _BootstrapApp
    return _core_.PyApp__BootstrapApp(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/opt/subdownloader/SubDownloader.py", line 372, in OnInit
    globals.Log(key +" = " + str(value))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xed' in 
position 14: ordinal not in range(128)

You have to remove /home/ced/Vídeo from 
file .subdownloader/preferences.conf in order to run the program

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Subdownloader 1.2.9. Kubuntu Gutsy.

I'd like to you guys put a bit more priority in this issue because people from 
lot 
of non-english speakers countries have lot of directories which names have 
accents. 
I'm brasilian (portuguese speaker) I realy can't use subdownloader anymore 
because 
this problem.
 I currently use it with Windows Xp Pro Sp2, if can help you with anything let me 
know.

Thanks.
