Description Alan M. Evans 2009-12-21 20:57:05 UTC
Description of problem:
In Fedora 12, the Nautilus extension to create an archive of a selected file (which I understand is actually provided by file-roller) changed its name in the context menu from "Create Archive" to "Compress". The old terminology is better.

The new menu item suggests that some compress operation is to be taken on the selected file directly. For example, foo.txt will become foo.txt.gz or somesuch.

In fact, the old "Create Archive" label was more correct, since what the user is actually doing is creating an archive (which may or may not be compressed) of the selected files, leaving those files untouched.

The new label is clumsy and inaccurate, while the old label is descriptive and appropriate and not difficult to understand. Please change the label back to "Create Archive".


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.28.1 (shipped in Fedora 12)

How reproducible:
Easily.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on a file or group of files in Nautilus
2. ???
3. Profit!
  
Actual results:
Observe "Compress..." in the context menu.

Expected results:
Observe "Create Archive..." in the context menu.

Additional info:
None.

We don't have the infrastructure to change translated strings compared to upstream (and we would be unlikely to do it even if we did). Please take this complaint upstream to bugzilla.gnome.org.
