Comment 60 for bug 15495

A compressed file archive isn't really an archive at all. I put things into an archive that I don't want to see on my desk anymore, but might need it again in the future. Really, when talking about an archive, you're talking about it because we used to only be using tar (T ape AR chive ).[*]

A zip file obviously doesn't work because we are creating a myriad of archives here, possibly tar.gz, tar.bz2, .rar, .7z, etc.

While having no clear answer, possible candidates that describe better what is happening here, could be:

- aggregate
- collect
- combine

when looking for terminology in terms of an "archive", how about:

instead of "add to..."
- "aggregate in file"
- "create collection"
- "combine to single compressed file"

  => popup "choose format" dropdown with zip, tar.gz, etc.

Just putting some thoughts out there from a pure English point of view.
