Comment 36 for bug 15495

I think that moving away from the term archive is a great idea as whilst in the past people may have used archiving to store old files these days it is mainly used for email attachments and similar. I think that we should definetly include an imperitive verb such as create as it gives users a clear idea about what the menu item actually does (creates a file not changes the folder compression as the same menu icon would in XP). Create compressed file... is best as it gives users maximum knowledge about the action. We should also look at changing zip to the default archive format as people who care about compression enough to use tar.gz or tar.bz2 rather than simply wanting to email files to a friend with windows will know about it (I will submit a bug report depending on the responce from this).
