After Effects plugin dead?

Does Carrara's After Effects plugin (CarraraImporter.plugin) still work? Forum/internet searches unearth conflicting reports of the plugin's usefulness.

The plugin's ReadMe file links to a page showing a release date of February 2009, good with After Effects 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, or CS4.

5 years and a few versions of After Effects later, the plugin seems kaput. All .cae files are grayed out when I try to import them into an After Effects CS6 comp. Given Cinema4D's cozy relationship with After Effects, it would behoove Daz3D to make Carrara more compatible. I know I can export a Carrara animation in a format Cinema 4D can read, but some stuff inevitably gets screwed up (textures, etc.)

Thanks,
Andy
