Option is grayed out

The plugin doesn't work, the option the readme says to go to is grayed out.

I had this trouble just now, it's the first time I've tried installing an inkscape extension, and I followed these instructions

I cloned this repository directly into my user's extension directory, and expected that would work. Instead, I got the grayed out option.

Starting up inkscape through the command line showed what my issue was:

** (org.inkscape.Inkscape:4154355): WARNING **: 09:51:23.460: Failed to find resource file 'export_layers.py'. Looked in:
	/home/user/.config/inkscape/extensions/export_layers.py
	/usr/share/inkscape/extensions/export_layers.py

So it was looking in the extensions directory, but I had cloned it such that it's inside a inkscape-export-layers directory. Moving the files up fixed the issue for me.

Not sure if that's your issue @gameboycjp, but if it isn't, seeing if there's any error in a terminal would be helpful to diagnose.

Thanks @kenakofer - this worked for me!
