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).
