Use original filenames	The name under which the file was saved on the source. If not checked, uses the name you define. The name can contain macros.
Compress each file (zip format)	Compresses each file individually. Uses the original filename appended with .zip. For example, `MyFile.txt` is compressed to a file named `MyFile.zip`. To zip multiple files together, use the built-in script Zip Advanced.
