Comment 18 for bug 15495

I agree with Franck.
A tar file is an *archive* but its not a compress file. So by renaming all Create Archive (the fits all scenario) to compress files will cause confusion on how to create tar files. Perhaps a joined venture such as "Compress/Archive" will be much appropriate in the gnome menu.
Here is what I propose:
Proposed solution:
* In context menu rename "Create Archive" to "Compress/Archive"
* The subsequent dialog box should be re-titled to read: "Create Compressed File/Archive"
* The input box on the dialog box should be re-labelled from 'Archive' to 'Filename'
* Change "Archive Manager" to "Archive Manager" on the Applications menu (with tooltip "Create and edit compressed files/Archives")

I believe the name Archive Manager should remain, just like people are used to WinZip, WinRaR, 7-Zip. None of the commercial/popular windows software have "Compress" in their name and in fact they are even more confusing than Archive Manager
