20437	WP Upgrader filter to allow plugins to upload to existing directory	usermrpapa		"Our plugin for WP uses various elements of the WP upgrader class to manage plugins for our plugin. ;)  This has worked great except when we went to extend it further and allow uploading of plugins through the WP Upgrader class much like you can with WP plugins.

The issue is that currently, the WP Upgrader class is coded to expect the upload destination to be empty - EXCEPT if the upload destination (the base directory) is one of these hard coded locations:

in_array( $destination, array(ABSPATH, WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_PLUGIN_DIR, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/themes') )

So since our plugin storage location is not one of those, it fails since there may already be some plugins there.

Sure would be nice if that array of locations that does not have to be empty (the important base dirs which allow dropping down a directory level)...  a simple filter would accomplish this...

Hope its not too late in 4.3 for a simple filter..."	enhancement	new	normal	Awaiting Review	Upload	3.3.1	normal		has-patch	steve@…
