EXAMPLE:

 --The following script will print information about missing plugins, if any:
for i = 1 to SceneMissingPlugIns.GetMissingPlugInCount() do
(
    local theName = SceneMissingPlugIns.GetMissingPlugInClassName i
    local theFileName = SceneMissingPlugIns.GetMissingPlugInFileName i
    local theDesc = SceneMissingPlugIns.GetMissingPlugInDescription i
    format "%: % | % | %\n" i theName theFileName theDesc

--To test, evaluate a scripted plugin, create an instance of it in the scene and save the scene. --Restart 3ds Max and without reevaluating the scripted plugin, load the scene file. --Then execute the script below to see the information about your missing plugin.
