CV-Artsmart not working as expected in S22

I have used ArtSmart for years.

I just updated to Cinema 4d S22.  I installed the CV-ArtSmart plugins and added the buttons to the menus.  I tried this morning to import an Adobe Illustrator file (saved as an ‘8’ version)
The ArtSmart plugin would not even identify .ai files in a directory.

Throwing spaghetti against the wall, I tried Cinema 4D’s Merge function.  Not only did it bring it in to Cinema 4D, it came at the exact size I created it. Unheard of.

Does this new functionality in C4D disable the plugin’s ability to bring in Illustrator files.  I have been having issues with S22.  Little tiny things that are never present in release versions.

Maybe I should start from scratch.
Download the CV-ArtSmart plugin again. 

Can someone else please check to see if ArtSmart works in their version of S22.
Thanks.
