To implement:

• Make GList *appNoShow global in db.c
• dbLoad() needs to be dbLoad(path,noshow), where path is the path to search for XML files and noshow=1 means populate the noshow list (appNoShow) instead of the normal list (appList).
  • update dbload() to dbLoad(path,0) in main()
  • add dbload(path/.noshow,1) to main()
• dbGetEntry(idx) should be dbGetEntry(idx,noshow)
• dbGetLength() should be dbGetLength(noshow)
• notify() should be notify(idx,noshow)
  • Update existing calls to notify to be notify(currentIdx,0)
  • move call get dbGetEntry() in notify() to start of function to avoid network setup when no matching entry exists.
• Add key handler for Ctrl-T that iterates over dbGetLength(1) on dbGetEntry(idx,1) to find the terminal entry, and then calls notify for that entry.
  • the .noshow list will never change so we only need to get this index once and hang onto it.

This assumes all we want from the .noshow entries are to read them into a link list. This will allow us to search for the entries however we choose by iterating over them one at a time. This is inefficient but since the .noshow list is likely to be very small and only searched once it isn't tragically bad.

I had to add dbFindEntry() to search by appName, but other than that the implementation steps in the previous comment were all that was needed.

Implemented and tested on RPi 4 hardware with HDMI and wired keyboard.

Code committed and pushed.

Closing issue.
