there is no way to add the % of damage in frequency crystals show in inventory?
Since each item has a different id I suppose after being used

Contract them to yourself, the contract should show %.

It is only to make it easier to organize the crystals

I think a technical reason was stated in the past, why it couldn't be done. Would be nice to be able to combine them, even with loss involved.

This has also been answered. It's basically a lot of fiddly work for questionable benefit.

CCP could just fix the entire thing by just adjusting the damage chance and making it so all guns in a group damage at the same time. Overall crystals would still decay at the same rate, but they'd burn out all at once so no more "why won't my guns fire!?!?"

Too bad you can't repair or recombine them.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

You should be able to take a damaged Large and refine it to a new Medium or Small.

You can. Reprocessing it for minerals. Build new crystal

Split a weapon group, or just fit one gun.

Put the crystals in the weapons, hover your mouse over the loaded weapon in the fitting window, and sort them into boxes.

You can't. You used to be able to but this resulted in basically free minerals since you could burn the crystal down to <1% left and then refine it.

It's not actually free minerals you still get less than it takes to make them, there's no way of ending up with more minerals than you started with.
