Action list manager

Hi there,

Thanks a lot for the addon, it's very simple and useful! While I was working on a complex rig I found myself doing a lot of blind back and forth so I thought that an improvement would make it a lot more convenient to use in the long run

Would it be possible to include a list of the generated actions and the settings?

There's a similar addon that's part of the core of Rigify:

This requires the use of a meta rig and a generated Rigify controller, it has it all but it doesn't have the advantage of applying the actions directly to any rig without the generation step which sometimes would be very convenient

The addition of the list of actions and keeping track of the settings seems simple enough

But a feature I found interesting is the functionality to create a corrective action with a toggle by having 2 actions as a trigger instead of setting up the custom space empty instead, that one seems more involved

Here's the documentation in case you want to take a look at it: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/addons/rigging/rigify/metarigs.html#actions

Also another detail is that the list of actions is updated only after regenerating the rig. I imagine this is done to just run through every bone a single time and avoiding the overhead of keeping that list constantly updated when it's not necessary, but something that could make things work in the context of Smart Bones is having an update button to perform this looping action through the armature and retrieve the settings if any of these change
