  Now we have to add the features we need to preview animations. Btw,
I hope to start next week with blend shapes export.

  OK. All what you suggest is interesting. What about creating a new
section "Previewing" or "Previsualization" or something similar in the
export options window?

  I don't understand completely what you are proposing. Just two notes:

  1. maya2osg_export and maya2osg_preview procs must be in two
independent files with these same names to be automatically loaded the
first time they are called. This is the same reason I created the
"osgFileExportOptions.mel" file (otherwise the Maya Export option
failed if you haven't called maya2osg_export before).

  2. The maya2osg_preview command is meant to be a "quick preview" and
so it has no GUI. It just uses the last options that were set on the
plug-in and creates the output files in the temp directory and deletes
them after closing the preview window.
