The Obok SelectionDialog was a simple alphabetical list that became hard to navigate with large Kobo libraries. This adds three usability features:

  • Search box that live-filters by title, author, or series
  • Checkbox-based selection (replaces row-highlight) so selections persist across filter changes; Space key toggles the focused row
  • Manual hide system: "Hide Selected" persists hidden book IDs across sessions via plugin_prefs; "Show Hidden" reveals them again; books are auto-hidden when imported via OK
  • "In Library" toggle button filters to show only books whose titles already exist in the calibre library, for easy identification of duplicates to hide

Replaces the old "All with DRM" / "All DRM free" buttons with "Select All", "Deselect All", "Hide Selected", "Show Hidden", and "In Library".
