Request: Improve mage spell learning UI. Make "write magic" contextual, etc

Learning spells with mages is extremely tedious process, especially if you have multiple mages in the party, there are a bunch of improvements that will make it significantly less of a bother:

1. Write magic button when examining a scroll should be contextual. It should show "write magic" ONLY if I can actually write it to my book, if I already know it then it should say "spell known" and not be a button. If there is another reason why I can't scribe it (ex: maxed out spellbook) then it should say so instead.
2. When examining a scroll in detail (right click it), it should show the known/unknown status for all 6 party members, not only the one who is holding it (or the one currently speaking to a merchant)
3. In inventory overview, there needs to be some way to quickly distinguish which scrolls are can be written by OTHER party members. For example, if charname is holding a scroll of flaming hands, and it can be written into the spellbook of danehier, imoen (dual classed), etc then it should somehow be visible at a glance in the main inventory screen
4. When looking at a shop/scroll case, it should be possible to filter it for scrolls that can be scribed by selected character, or scrolls that can be scribed by any party member.

    It's not tedious because I scribe scrolls in the middle of combat! JUST KIDDING your idea is a great one, but wont you miss those annoying sound effects when you try to scribe a scroll you already know?
