hello everyone

i made a very simple workflow in automator to archive some files, create an archive and copy them to my external usb drive. its usefull to make backups as a finder plugin :)

my only question is: how can i make the "create archive" action to create an archive with the same name as the finder item i selected to run the workflow?
for instance, i select my Documents folder and run the worflow, and it creates a archive.zip instead of Documents.zip. how to do it?

thank you
