Filtering subtitle tracks in the side panel  #925

Feature Request
When using two subtitle tracks simultaneously — e.g. one in the target language and one in a native language — there is currently no way to hide a specific track in the side panel's subtitle list. This makes it difficult to use the side panel for immersion or comprehension practice, since both tracks are always visible at once.

Solution I thought about
A filter option in the side panel to toggle the visibility of individual subtitle tracks. Placement near the existing action buttons (e.g. "Bulk Export Subtitles", "Mining History") would keep it consistent with the current UI. A track filter in this location could also be used down the line if someone wants to implement filters when Bulk Exporting cards.

Alternatives
The existing "Subtitle Blur" option in the subtitle appearance settings blurs the track overlay on the video, but does not affect the side panel list. Extending the blur feature to cover side panel entries could serve as an alternative approach.

I would like to attempt implementing this myself as a way to get familiar with the codebase.
