 * Hi kamenle,
 * this is the first time I hear about such an issue. The plug-in never had an index.
   php and there is actually no requirement for an index.php, so there shouldn’t
   be any problem with using it.
 * Maybe you could describe the problems you experience with the plug-in in a more
   detailed manner? We’ll be happy to help.

 * At codecanyon is a plugin with the same name. I use this plugin and it has the
   index.php.
    So I got an update notice for your plugin, which I don’t use. Actually
   bad from WP that it just checks names and not an id-nr.

 * Hello, we’re the developer of the Responsive Google Maps plugin that has the 
   conflict.
 * The conflict is caused by the plugin folder name, not the actual title.
 * Unfortunately, WordPress naively uses this folder name (and not a unique ID that
   they could place within each zip file on submission such as how Chrome Extensions
   have), and two plugins with the same name are effectively the same.
 * Our plugin is only on CodeCanyon, but 1.2.0 was detected as a greater version
   than ours, so our customers were receiving this as an update.
 * As a temporary stopgap, we released a version as V10, but we do not have an automatic
   update system.
 * Renaming the folder will make them independently recognized. Unfortunately, our
   uninstall process pre-V10 would clear all settings (including our custom posts),
   so if we changed our name and people installed that and removed the older plugin
   via WordPress, they would lose everything.
 * We planned to rename the folder initially, but this data loss and lack of autoupdate
   on our side was determined very likely to cause data loss. Our customers may 
   be unaware of the update, as CodeCanyon is opt-in for release notifications, 
   and there’s nothing within WordPress to let them know.
 * I don’t know if WordPress would allow pushing a version on your side with a renamed
   folder path or not, since they use it for version identification.

 * Hello,
 * unfortunatelly there is no way (that I know of) that lets us change the directory
   name. It is generated by the SVN-Repo in WordPress.
