I did some testing on version 16.1.1 and it still works. There haven't been any major changes to the API. Can you try installing again, unzipping all the files and folders and checking the AE option to allow scripts to write files.
Yes, it works now for both makers. Thanks for being fast about this.
16.1.1For reference, "Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network" has been moved to preference->scripting and expressions tab
