I suppose that the magnifying glass could even be removed as an item (or at least removed as an item linked to identifying) and turned into a UI element instead, which would have the benefit of not requiring the player to dig through inventory for it (and drag it around close to the items to be IDed).
Agree. Hopefully they'll still fix the sloppy inventory system though (i.e. finish setting item stacking for all identical nonequippable items - which has been confirmed as already planned; key ring; auto-sort, etc. etc.).
