Unable to run in Blender 2.8 #20

You can install the addon and "activate" it, but it doesn't show up in either the import or the export menu.

Same for me.

Blender 2.8 onwards breaks backwards compatability with addons made for past versions of Blender, the second major version to do so (the first being 2.5). The claim within the project's readme, which says it would work past version 2.7.2, does not account for this fact.

An addon must specifically be designed with 2.8+ in mind before it would be properly supported in such Blender versions. In fact, should it detect, within the addon's metadata, that it was made for an earlier version in mind, Blender would actually warn you about it; it may be toggable, but it may not be usable.
