That version layerfx.2.8.py does not work correctly in Gimp 2.10
The preview button works, however the Bevel option has the habit to sometimes empty the history tab when you use the Preview and then hit 'Cancel'.
What i do is use the Preview, adjust the options until i get something that looks good, then press 'Okay', without unchecking Preview.
As far as my experience goes, its only the Bevel which does this.
The problem with the layerfx 2.8 version is that it creates a layergroup for Shadow and Highlight which compromises the layermode. This is why the previous version (layerfx.py) is the better one.
The scm version of layerfx generates effects like Bevel & Emboss with a layermask and has no preview.
And all of the above applies for Gimp 2.8. Havent tried it in 2.10.
