Research direction

The issue asks for filtering the games list in the popup dialog and links to IUP Mask as a possible direction, but names no source files or tests. First locate the popup dialog and read how its game list is built, along with the IUP Mask documentation. Done means users can filter the displayed games; an open linked pull request (#140) indicates work is already underway.

Description

enhancement help wanted

I feel like this would be a great addition for people who have hundreds of items on Steam. It would help immensely to be able to quickly filter the list that shows up in the popup.

I don't have any experience with IUP myself, or else I'd love to help. Possibly, something like this IUP Mask could be used?
