Summary0003517: STL/Mesh export options only visible after first mesh import
DescriptionThe "Mesh Formats" options in the Preferences->Import-export pane only becomes visible after opening a mesh format, such as STL.

If one wants to tune the maximum mesh deviation parameter to export a mesh, he first has to import an stl just to enable the preference pane. Quite annoying.
Steps To Reproduce- Create a new document
- Go to Edit->Preferences->Import-export.

No "Mesh Formats" pane is visible.

- Open any STL file
- Go to Edit->Preferences->Import-export.

"Mesh Formats" is now visible.

The current workaround for this is to switch to Mesh Workbench beforehand. Then the Preferences pane will show the Mesh Workbench in it.
