- icons available in max for all existing actions(Sync, AutoSync, Export, Collections, Messages)
- icons are visible in Customize UI actions list and when assigned to a custom toolbars or ribbon
- added example Ribbon from Pierr-Felix (only modified to use icons from actions, not files). Installing to "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2022\en-US\UI\Ribbon\Extensions" would work

Ho to use.
Build with environment variable set:
DATASMITH_3DSMAX_PLUGIN_WITH_DIRECTLINK=1
Note - it should build DatasmithMax2022.gup in Engine\Binaries\Win64\3DSMax\2022
Add that ..Engine\Binaries\Win64\3DSMax\2022 folder to Max pluging paths. Max menu - Customize/Configure User and System Paths/3rd Party Plugins
Execute Engine\Source\Programs\Enterprise\Datasmith\DatasmithMaxExporter\Extras\3dsMaxScripts\UI\DatasmithDialog.ms
This will activate the plugin and create UI
Sync/Connections/Export buttons should work
---
Review disclaimer:
- This is very preliminary review!
- All in one file for now
- Some code duplicated from baseline - like exporting hierarchy. Syncing is quite different from straight export!
- Some baseline plugin code changed to be able to reuse - one which seemed to need little interference, less chance to break.
- Export - most hierarchy export, with transforms, refscene; geometry - basic GeomObj only, materials - already using full existing plugin's export code
- Missing export(to be on par with existing) - a lot! Other object types, collision, pivots, instances, forest..
- Change tracking - geometry/transforms/material assignment/material changes basically working. But lot to add/fix(e.g. hacky material re-export)
- Slate UI working
- Key functions exported to MaxScript
- Built/tested only in 2022
