1. What is “Poll Exceptions”?

The Poll Exceptions feature was created to let you manually fix the issue where all drop-down menus or buttons get disabled when the N-panel tab is closed.

2. When do you need it?

You’ll need to use this feature when other add-ons that use the N-panel (like BoxCutter, PowerSave, etc.) stop responding or their menus outside the n-panel become greyed out after switching tabs.

NOTE: If you encounter any add-ons that still have this issue, please contact me directly. I will verify them and add their module names to the default code base for automatic handling in future updates.

3. How to find the correct Add-on Module Name

1. Enable Python Tooltips:

   Go to Preferences > Interface > Tooltips, then check “Python Tooltips”.

2. Open Preferences > Add-ons, find the add-on you want to fix (e.g. BoxCutter).

3. Hover your mouse over the toggle checkbox to enable/disable that add-on.

4. Blender will show a tooltip similar to this:

   Example:

   <aside>

   <aside>

   bpy.ops.preferences.addon_disable(module="bl_ext.user_default.BoxCutter")

   </aside>

   

   The module name you need is the last part — in this case it’s “boxcutter”.

4. Adding Poll Exceptions

Once you’ve found the module name(s), go to Supertabs Preferences > Poll Exceptions and enter them separated by commas.

Example:

<aside>

powersave, boxcutter

</aside>

</aside>

5. Save Preferences & Apply/RefreshUi

After adding your exceptions, you must Save Preferences and Press “Apply/RefreshUI” to apply the changes. You can also export a JSON file to save your Poll Exceptions settings externally.
