+ * if( ... )

+ * unplugActionList( "xxx_file_actionlist" );

+ * \endcode
+ * every time a file is selected, unselected or ...
+ *
+ * \note You should not call createGUI() after calling this
+ * function. In fact, that would remove the newly added

+ * \note Forgetting to call unplugActionList() before
+ * plugActionList() would leave the previous actions in the
