What about going for the second one, with a -o or -c switch for specifying the
name on the command line? This allows good command line usage, easy scripts for
archiving a directory (-c %directoryname.tar.gz -n %directoryname), but also
allows prompting for a name when there's none specified.

change my subscription.)
