Renaming plugin folder breaks plugin

Usually you can rename a plugin folder and the plugin continues to work. In this case, since i needed to modify AO, and wanted to change the folder name. However, when you do that, it will not work.

A small thing, granted, but it seems to indicate that paths are tied to a hard-coded folder name, which may not be best practice.
