Seems incompatible with Gimp 2.10

Please update the installation instructions to reflect the new location(s) of the plugin folders. Got the thing installed, trying to follow the usage instructions -- I created a new palette, with zero colors, then from the list of palettes I used context menu and selected "Import ASE Palette...". Chose an ASE file (Freetone palette). Got error messages:

Warning: Converting from LAB or CMYK colors is inaccurate and may result in slightly-off RGB values Warning: Palette "...\SEMPLETONE+COATED.gpl already exists; not overwriting.

The SEMPLETONE+COATED palette is not the palette I'd selected, so it seems it's trying to operate on the wrong selection. Also don't understand the first message. I never asked for conversion -- I'm very happy to keep the CMYK values and not try to convert.

I tried to work around this by creating two empty target palettes which appeared consecutively in the list, and selecting the first to operate on, hoping it might at least import to the second one. The message I got was identical -- the script tried to operate on SEMPLETONE, the first palette in the list following the two I created.

I restarted Gimp and tried again. Same result.

I added a color to the second of my two new palettes and tried again to import into the first, empty one. Same result.

I tried importing into my new palette that already contained one color. Same result. No matter what I do, it wants to import into SEMPLETONE rather than into the selected palette.

Thinking there might be some subtle difference between a palette I created and a pre-existing one, I tried importing the ASE file into an existing palette (Paintjet). Same result -- it only wants to import into SEMPLETONE+COATED.

At this point I give up -- I can't find any way to get it to work.
