------------------------------------

Note that "~" is a legal character in a file name in Windows, for example "~.txt"

> For any file with a name that begins with a tilde, which is a valid file name in BSD and Windows, if you call FilenameUtils.getFullPath and pass the file name, it returns the file name followed by a path separator. It should return an empty string. It seems to be parsing it as a unix user directory because it starts with the tilde.
