Comment (by crweiner):

 Another thought that just came to mind: I am not sure if this will work
 well for multiste installs or for people who run a non-standard WP install
 with a different directory structure than the default, such as Bedrock -
 https://roots.io/bedrock/ , or use simlinked plugins, like on WP.com. I
 don't want to cause an issue (like PHP fatals) for these kinds of sites if
 a "Slug" column is enabled in Screen Options if the code is searching for
 plugins in a folder that doesn't exist.

 We would need to not assume that plugins are always in `wp-
 content/plugins` and instead check where it is:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/apis/wp-config-php/#moving-plugin-folder .
 So, maybe showing the `plugin_basename` would be better (or at least a
 first option, before trying the directory or dropping `.php` for single-
 file plugins)?
