Animation Switching

The Core Idea of the Addon is Animation Switching with Frame Range Adjusted when you switch the action

This is Useful when you are working on multiple action sets, such as creating a animation set for your game character model

The Action is stored on the Object itself, so it will hide the other unrelated actions
