"Create an archive" sounds better for me.

If "Destination" always mean a folder, then it is self-explaining. But
if it could mean either a folder or a filename (for the archive file),
you should distinguish between folder or file though.

In my mind, "8 of 50 completed" should be "8 of 50 files added" or "8 of
50 files completed".

Thank you for providing the screenshots! It's a very convenient way to
make things better understandable without compiling and installing the
whole application. In most cases, libraries and other system contents
have to be updated before to run a new program version, and this could
run in and endless loop sometimes...
