%%%%%%%%%%% GENERAL TO ALL SERIES ACTION FCTS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
%OUTPUT

%
%INPUT:
% In run mode, the input parameters are given as a Matlab structure Param copied from the GUI series.
% In batch mode, Param is the name of the corresponding xml file containing the same information
% when Param.Action.RUN=0 (as activated when the current Action is selected
% in series), the function ouput paramOut set the activation of the needed GUI elements
%
% Param contains the elements:(use the menu bar command 'export/GUI config' in series to 
% see the current structure Param)

%             .ActionExt: fct extension ('.m', Matlab fct, '.sh', compiled   Matlab fct
%             .RUN =0 for GUI input, =1 for function activation
%             .RunMode='local','background', 'cluster': type of function  use
%             
%    .IndexRange: set the file or frame indices on which the action must be performed
