Renaming folder makes it disappear from plugins list

[ghost]

Hello,
I'm pretty sure it's my fault but never happened so there's a very little chance this is an issue :)
When I rename the folder into bulk_user_admin the plugin disappears from the list in admin section.

If I rename it with any other name the plugin becomes visible again with error message "This plugin is invalid: This plugin's directory must be renamed to "bulk_user_admin" to match the ID in its manifest."

I also checked docs ( http://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/appendix/faqs.html#plugin-cannot-start-and-has-been-deactivated-or-this-plugin-is-invalid ) but everything looks correct...
Cheers

Hi Brett,
LAMP on a VPS. Since Elgg 1.7 many upgrades of core+plugins never seen this issue...very strange...

Hi Brett,
I just solved this. In the DB the folder's name had been truncated into ..._admi (instead of _admin) for some reason. I deleted that row in elgg_objects_entity and the new renaming took effect.
