Tim, I had the same error but I managed to apply the plugin and make the preset this way:
If I change the parameters of the script, it shows the same bug Krikor had. In my tests, the error seems to be in the layer mode - it only crashes if the layer mode not on normal mode. Changing the others parameters don't seem to replicate the error.
I'm also using SamJ 2.10.6 portable version - couldn't make the Partha 2.10.8 work on my computer...
Tim, as reported by Dionísio, keeping the modes in Normal Mode, the script works. I was able to save and then load the created present.
I then manually changed the modes for Screen and Multiply.
It seems that the errors are somehow associated with the change of the Modes.
BTW, in what folder are the created presets stored?

Tim, it seems the problem only occurs with Shadow Mode.
Changing only the Highlight Mode to Screen, and keeping Shadow Mode in Normal, the script works.

Thanks for testing guys.
Since Krikor let me know that changing shadow mode produces the error, I was able to produce the error.
And it had nothing to do with the mode, but the color was GimpRGB, changing the color to a 3 item tuple (R,G,B) seemed to have fixed the error.
Please give version 3 (posted in 1st post) a try...
And let me know if it's useful enough to apply this same idea to other layer effects.
In version 3, I have also defaulted highlightmode to SCREEN and shadowmode to DIVIDE as those are defaults for bevel and emboss.
PS. I think the script just writes bevel_and_emboss.txt to whichever active folder you execute GIMP from.

Tim, at least for me, the default is Screen and Multiply (and not Divide).

If in Shadow-Mode I select Multiply, it still gives the same error as before.
If I leave in Shadow-Mode as Divide, the script works, but ...:
01) The layer that should be in the Screen (Highlight Mode) mode appears as Multiply mode.
02) The layer that should be in Divide mode (Shadow-Mode), appears as Value (HSV) (I)
Always in Legacy format.

try version 4.
It only calls the layerfx bevel and emboss it doesn't makes any changes regarding the Legacy issue.
I don't know how to change the original script to deal with new layer modes.
I wonder if it's just a matter of allowing use to choose the new layer modes and calling bevel and emboss would just work then that would be easy to do I am gonna go try and test and see what happens.

Seems ok now Tim !!

Working fine for me! The script is working even changing the layer mode and is making the presets just fine.
I think it will be very cool to have this plugin for the others effects as well. Would it be possible, for example, to call multiple presets at the same time? (something like a bevel/emboss + outer glow)
Because them it would be possible to ''translate'' Photoshop's pre-made styles to GIMP and make them available as a new type of resource.
