Show Printed status in item listings / search results #871

Once again thank you for providing van_dam and for improving it more and more.

Regarding #40 I do have a use case for the information or a filter for printed in search and listings.

I use van_dam to organize 3D printable files for DnD Items primarily and the collection is much bigger than what I actually printed already. So for example if I try to remember if I already printed a specific item it could be helpful to just mark it in van_dam as printed and be able to search for "green dragon" and see in the result list which of the results, if any, I already printed. Regarding on how to display it could be something simple like the creator or collection tag in the item or something like an icon hovering somewhere on the preview picture.

I am guessing that this idea on how to show it wouldn't be too much hazzle to implement, but to decide if an item in the collection should be marked as printed could be more complex since one item can have (and in the typical item in my collection does have) multiple STL files. So if one of those STL files is marked as printed, should the item in total be marked as printed.

I would be thankful for any kind of hint on search results and other listings if an item has a 3D printable file that is marked as printed.

That's a nice idea, thank you, and it's good to know it's a useful feature! I'm rewriting it in #727, which has stalled a bit, but I'll see if I can add this in and get it finished off.
