 * Hello
 * When I upgrade the theme with the plugin, the theme folder name is changed to
   username-tagname-hash (which results in changing active theme settings to defaults).
 * note: I’m not getting an error message “Unable to rename downloaded theme”.
 * Any workaround this?

 * A new version v1.3.7 was recently released that fixed a number of issues. Can
   you try upgrading to the new version and then seeing if you experience the same
   issue?
 * I’ve not experienced this myself. When I upload a theme I upload a zip file with
   the directory name “foo”, and after my auto-updates the directory name stays 
   the same.
 * I do know the kind of thing you’re talking about, though, because if I download
   a theme directly from Github, it has the folder/directory name of “danyork-foo-
   hash”. However, I’ve not seen that renaming behavior after an auto-update.

 * I’m seeing exactly this behavior and I’m using v1.3.7
