Improved Identify on IDed Items?

[Bigsnack]

Is there any way to get Improved Identify to work on items that you've already identified? I'd like to see the journal entries for items that get auto-assayed when I pick them up, but the only ways I can think to do so is the limited-use owl statue in the Shrine of the Raptor (and I think I found something similar in Samhain, perhaps, but I didn't want to use up the charges frivolously).

I got improved identify and I can't seem to figure out how it actually gets me anywhere. how does one properly use it?

Shopkeeps seem to ID a variety of items in their purview, complete with journal entries. There's a permanent (?) oracle later on behind a dungeon. When you use ID, it seems to temporarily increse your Assay. IID allows that to reveal the superID and journal page.

Some items are borked atm super ID wise. Most are already reported somewhere so far, I think.

Normally you could use it to "Super ID" items and get specific (sometimes helpful text) about them added to your Journal with hints or similar. Some people are saying it's not working on already normally ID'd items, if that's true then that's likely a bug.

or its that they've not enough assay even with the improved identify buff ;)

It seems to be a one time only deal, trying to assay items already identified doesn't give any new information.
