Configure not showing any sheets if there is a sheet with empty data in the same dashboard

Firstly, I love ExportAll and it's been a hugely powerful tool for my team's Tableau products. It's an awesome extension and insane just how many opportunities it has opened up. So thank you @craigbloodworth!

I noticed that when adding the extension to a dashboard with multiple sheets, sometimes the configure window would not auto-popup, and when clicking Configure in the drop-down, the Select Sheets page would display empty / no sheets.

From experimenting, I've found that removing any sheets which have blank data (i.e. valid fields/filters but no matching data in the view) prevents this, and the configure window then auto-popups with expected options shown in Select Sheets.

One might need to have sheets with no data included in the Dashboard while developing e.g. if a required filter currently has no rows / None, but will have rows in a future data refresh. Now I can avoid by knowing what is causing it, but it is restricting for workbook development.

I produced an example attached using EU Superstore Data.
