@Stuart:
Changing the name of the application is pointless and rather silly. Most other archive managers have different names [WinZip, WinRaR, 7Zip].

Changing the menu entry to as I have proposed earlier might seem more appropriate (I don't think user will care the name of the application or that changing it will make it any better). And most users don't create empty archives, they right click the file and compress it - which eliminates the need to even know the name of the archiver. Think about it: when was the last time when you needed to create an empty archive by launching the application?

---------
Proposition:
* 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")
