Hi, I need a script of a custom archive button that will

1. archive just a single file (selected); keep the original file, don't delete it.
2. does not have a dialog
3. names the zip archive based on the first word of the file (until the first space)

For instance, a sample file 'R4-2412211 Test Conditions.docx' should be archived to 'R4-2412211.zip'
