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 -- "Archive Manager" doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an "archive" is https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/15495 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
