Small QOL - In "already using support gem" warning, say which gem has the support aleady

When you try to make support gems, some are grayed out if another skill is using the support. You get a warning for this, but it doesn't tell you where that support gem is currently being used. A nice little bit of QoL would be to say which skill is using that support already.

well i dont know how to post a damn screeny here. loaded to imgur, but doenst work...
Why cant we just place a small picture directly here?

While in "all Gem" section the already in use gems are not grey or shown as already in use.

I second this.

+1 had this problem many times and then you have to find in all your skills where is that gem socketed :D

My understanding is that in PoE2, you can only use each Support Gem once across all Skill Gems. If that isn't changing, shouldn't this be checking if you "OWN" the Support Gem? It shouldn't matter if you have it slotted or not, if you own it, it should prevent you from cutting the gem into a duplicate unless you hold down the button to override.

Also, please change "You cannot have multiple copies of the same support gem socketed at the same time." to "You cannot have multiple copies of the same support gem socketed anywhere at the same time."

+1 to this. I've accidentally crafted so many duplicate support gems already. If the game does both, i.e. tells you if you already own a copy of a support gem and tells you where you've got it socketed, if it's socketed, that might be ideal. Also, can GGG do a better job of making skill and support gems look visually distinct? I have several gems in my stash that look almost identical to the gems that are right next to them, but which are actually different gems. Yes, mousing over the gems reveals the doppelgangers, but it would better if we could sight-read the differences.
