Plugin installation inconsistency

Hello,

I am a plugin author trying to update my plugin for WordPress 2.7. My plugin is hosted on wordpress.org in the Plugin Directory. I’m trying to figure out the reasoning for the new Install Plugins section in version 2.7. If I browse to my plugin from the Install Plugins section and click on install, it will be installed in the /wp-content/plugins/[name of my plugin]/ directory, but if I download my plugin zip and use the zip uploader, it will be installed in the /wp-content/plugins/. Why isn’t consistent?

This is causing quite a problem for me and probably other plugin authors because of possible directory and file overwrites if we want to make our plugin installable with both methods.

In my case, it is causing even more problems because my plugin files are in a subfolder which make it perfect for installation with the zip uploader where they end in the /wp-content/plugins/[name of my plugin]/ directory but doesn’t work with the “Search way” since the files ends in the /wp-content/plugins/[name of my plugin]/[name of my plugin]/ directory.

Is there any solution to this problem?

Thanks
