Back on my old laptop with Win 10 / Gimp 3.0.4 and it is the same there. The plugin does not show in the File menu
Go into the plugin folder and delete the png file.
...and that seems a fix until Ofnuts investigates. It does export the layers.
OK, so appears to be a Gimp bug... Will report and fix my package in the meantime.
Sorry, I am back. Today I tried to use the export-layer plug-in and it didn't work. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time earlier. it just showed in the menu. When I want to export the layers it says "operation not supported". I can't enter the parametes for the directory. I can click the folders but there is no way to say OK. I was so enthusiastic and now it turns out that it doesn't work. If there is another idea I'd be happy!

Thanks, Emso
The directory selector is indeed tricky. If you create a directory of if you go down one level and they back off where you want it usually works.
What says "operation not supported"? Any hint of the operation or a line number in the code?

I can only enter the directory by typing it. (Screenshot #1). When I press "go", I get the error (screenshot #2)

The directory that starts with file:\\... is a bit weird, the code would expect D:\.... Even assuming it was a URL format, that would be file:// with forward slashes...
Otherwise, if you run gmp with gimp-console.exe, do you see an error message in the console when this happens?

I didn't write the directory like this (I wrote D:...). But when I press OK, this is what the program makes of it.
With gimp-console.exe there are no error messages.

Always dangerous to say that something does not work without qualifying as "..does not work for me" Sometime , somewhere, someone, has it working.
It is probably your naming properties. It is not the easiest plugin to use. Starting with the basics it goes like this

Thanks rich2005. The video helped me to understand what you meant with naming properties. I can now only export the layers to C: (which is OK). But on my computer it still doesn't do what it should. When I go into the designated folder, I only see one image (that is one level; one piece out of 30). I can see all the different levels piling up and then there is just the last image visible. But they are not as separate images like in your example. I compared the settings with yours and I don't see any differences.
Would you have any idea about that as well?

I do not know. It is not a plugin I often use. Truthfully, still using Gimp 2.10 a lot of the time
Do you have an example xcf with typical layers / layer groups. If you save as a Gimp 3 compressed filename.xcf.gz it should attach. Perhaps prune the 30 layers down a bit first.
EDIT: Do you have layer groups ? Maybe try changing Output to "Single Directory"
