Can't compress js files by passing a path

[jwerre]

Trying to pass my javascript path to YUI compressor. If I $ cd ~/Desktop, why is it that this will work:

$ yuicompressor -v -o '$:.min.js' ~/Desktop/js/*.js

but this will not:

$ yuicompressor -v -o '~/Desktop/js/$:.min.js' ~/Desktop/js/*.js 

Thanks.

Yes, I have the same problem

I cannot reproduce this in 2.4.8. Can either of you confirm whether it's still there?
