Naming mix-up

Issue Summary

Thanx for the very useful module, I hope you keep at it :)

There is a mix-up in naming of this module, probably because the folder/package name is different from the files names inside. For example when I use drush module to download BEF I use

drush dl bef

but to enable it instead of using:

drush enable bef

I have to use:

drush enable better_exposed_filters

I vote for the latter to be used everywhere, bef is nice and short but probably not very usable, it's easy to forget what it stands for, I'm not sure if there's something in the Drupal guidelines about this.

I knew this would happen when I choose BEF for the project URL. It was just me being lazy and wanting to save a few characters when typing. Groan...

Alas, I don't believe you can change your project's URL once you've selected it. I'll need to look into this, but if anyone out there has any experience with this, please drop a comment here.

The other option would be to figure out how to get drush to recognize bef and/instead of "better_exposed_filters". Not as good a solution, but it may be our only chance to unify the two names if changing the project URL is not allowed.

Maybe change the files to bef then?

Until then can you post a notice about drush usage on the project page, that you have to use different names so people aren't confused when they encounter this issue.

Fixed. I moved the CVS directory and the Drupal project page as of Beta2. better_exposed_filters should work for all Drush commands.

Note: installing Beta2 over any previous version requires removal of the original install (delete /sites/modules/all/bef) before installing Beta2. Existing filters and settings will be fine since they are stored with the View and not as part of this module.

Thank you! I deleted the bef folder and installed beta2 using drush :)
