** Description changed: A new user thinks "I need to create a zip file", and doesn't know how to do it. If you don't know that a zip file is an "archive", which many new users do not, then it's very difficult to tell how to create one. "Create archive" on the Nautilus context menu, "Archive Manager" in the Applications menu, etc, are all meaningless. (This happened to me today when someone I know rang me for technical support to ask how to create a zip file, and when I explained how, he said "what's an archive?") Suggested fixes (to be taken with a very large pinch of salt and replaced with better suggestions): Change "Create archive" to "Create compressed file" on the context menu Change "Archive Manager" to "Compressed Files" on the Applications menu (with tooltip "Create and edit compressed files") http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300655: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300655 + + Then won't you get questions like: "What's a compressed file"? Perhaps + some other wording may help such as: "Create a safe copy of a file".
