How to use custom command to zip a folder?

I know how to zip a file with
zip -r "!?&File(&A):?archive.zip!" !&
and i know how to zip a folder with
zip -r "!?File(&A):?archive.zip!" !& "!?Folder(&A):?folder name!" !&
But is there a way to zip a select folder without typing any archive name or folder name?
e.g if i selected folder name abc once i rune the command it will create a zip file name abc.zip

I do not understand your "ZIP folder" command. It seems wrong.

Anyway to ZIP selected folder, use zip -r "!.zip" "!". This way you cannot pack more folders into one archive.

Not working for me,
Is there anything require by the server?
But i tried
 zip -r "a!.zip" "!/"
in folder /WWW/abc/
and i selected 123 folder, the output is zip the /WWW/abc/ in a.zip file.

That's not very helpful statement. What does it do? Any error message?
Did you check the Apply to directories option?

The gzip command won't recursively clamp a catalog into a solitary compress record, when utilizing the -r switch. Rather it will walk that registry structure and compress each one document that it finds into a different record.

Could be this done?

your zip command with specific path and same name as directory is working fine but could be done via prompt box,

I am trying this

zip -r "!?&Enter an Archive Name:?/backup/archive.zip!" !&

I want to replace "archive" here with same name as directory which I am going to create zip.

Thanks
