Setup

There are 3 steps to getting everything working:

1. Download the YUI Compressor.

2. Unzip the YUI Compressor and copy the .jar file from the to a location of your choosing (make a note of where you saved it).

3. Open the Preferences... item in this bundle and replace the text /absolute/path/to/yui-compressor.jar with the actual path to your .jar file. It must be an absolute path, ~/ won't work.

Usage

Select the files you want to run through the YUI Compressor in the Project Drawer and execute the command using ⇧⌘Y (cmd-shift-Y)

The compressed files share the same path as the original files, with the addition of .min before the file extension. For example:

• my_js_file.js becomes my_js_file.min.js
• my_css_file.css becomes my_css_file.min.css

You can compress more than one file at the same time, just select all the files you want to compress in your Project Drawer before hitting Compress.

Existing files with the same name will be overwritten without warning.
