What it does
Every addon in one sortable list
Cool Addons Menu detects your addons by itself and gives you direct access to their panel and preferences page. It keeps your last five used addons close and adds a simple search.
Addons list
The list detects and shows your addons that have a panel in the N-panel. Tick Display disabled addons to include the disabled ones.
- Always up to date. Install, uninstall, enable or disable an addon and the lists update by themselves.
- Alphabetical, with the current version of each addon beside its name.
- Sort by N-Panel tabs. Tick the checkbox to group addons by the tab they live in. Tabs are alphabetical, and the number after a tab name is how many addons it holds. Click a tab to see its addons.
Open the addon panel
Click the addon you want to use and its panel opens.
- Leave the Cool Addons Menu window open, or close it with Ok, Cancel or by clicking outside it.
- To bring the list back, click the Cool Addons Menu button again.
Open addon preferences
Click the gear button next to an addon to open its preferences page directly.
Addons Finder
Type any string and press Enter or the find button. The list keeps only the addons whose name contains it. Click the x button to clear the filter.
Recently used
This area stays hidden until you pick your first addon. After that, the last 5 addons you reached from Cool Addons Menu appear here. Open their panel or preferences exactly like in the main list.
