So I'm attempting to plot an image of some text, PNG format, using iDraw, and I'm receiving this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "idraw.py", line 2325, in <module>
    e.affect()
File "C:\Users\Blue\Downloads\Software&User Manual for Windows 7 or 8 V2\Software&User Manual for Windows 7 or 8\Inkscape 0.92.4 for Windows 7 or 8\Inkscape\share\extensions\inkex.py", line 268, in affect
    self.effect()
File "idraw.py", line 267, in effect
    self.plotDocument()
File "idraw.py", line 766, in plotDocument
    self.recursivelyTraverseSvg( self.svg, self.svgTransform )
File "idraw.py", line 1188, in recursivelyTraverseSvg
    'Please convert images to line art before drawing. ' +
AttributeError: WCB instance has no attribute 'sCurrentLayerName'

I have converted the image to line art through Photoshop and removed the background, though the error still persists. Any recommendations?

Can you give more details on where this extension comes from ?

Can you give more details on where this extension comes from ?
The reason I ask, is I can't find an extension of this name anywhere on the Inkscape site.
All I could find where either links to google drive accounts from the idraw site ?
or this Fork which is based on Evil Mad Scientist Axidraw extension
