Compress option and then choosing password defaults to AES encryption which makes the compressed file to fail open in Windows with default archiver #515

I don't know if this is the right place to post -essentially- this feature request.

When (in Cinnamon - Linux Mint) you use right click --> compress... and then choose a password, the file is compressed with default AES algorithm. The problem is that if you send the file to Windows users, they cannot open the file with default Windows archiver (only with 3rd party app like 7zip).

I think there should be an option when compressing a file with password to choose between AES or ZipCrypto algorithm, so there is compatibility with Windows users.

thank you!
