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 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?

Thank you,prikryl!

I just notice i din't check the box "Apply to directories",
after check it, the command is working!! That y alot of command dint run for me..
Sorry my bad english, and thank for your patient to solve my problem. You help me alot, thank again!

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.

How to add timestamp to zip archive?

Like: folder ==> zip into ==> folder-timestamp.zip

zip -r "!-`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`.zip" "!/"

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
