Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Each version of Proton takes ~1 GB installed. On a limited system it would be nice to be able to remove unused Proton versions. Some games run fine on older Proton versions (e.g. 5.0) on my system but won't launch at all with newer versions. It would be great to be able to tell how many (and which) games are currently set to "Force the use of" a particular Proton version, to greatly facilitate cleanup.

Being able to filter games in the library search results by which ones force the use of an installed Proton version would be a handy way to do this.
