## Usage

From Syncsketch, download the "Maya Grease Pencile File" of your notes:
### Downloading notes and comments on Syncsketch.com

In this addon, "notes" are the raw sketches draw on your syncsketch reviews, "comments" are the text comments written on the side.

On Syncsketch, you can download the "Maya Grease Pencile File" as your notes, and the "Item notes as CSV" as your comments:

You will end up with a `shot_name.greasepencil.zip` and a `.CSV` file.

### Loading notes and comments

It will download a `shot_name.greasepencil.zip` file.
You can either use the import menu under *File* > *Import*:

After installing the importer, go in the regular Import menu:

Or you can go in the *3d Viewport* > *Sidebar**Animation* tab > *Syncsketch Feedback* panel, and use the import buttons to load your notes and comments:

Click it, navigate to your zip file, and it will automatically clear any remaining background image from your active camera and setup your Syncsketch notes.

## Limitations & future development:

- [ ] Could be nice to somehow import written notes;
- [ ] Could be nice to somehow not have to download notes and comments separately.
