Hi JD
I know it is a bit late, any way Happy New Year.

If I have any objects that are hidden and I do a Remove unused materials command it will remove those materials that belong to the hidden objects. For example if I have ten objects and have assigned them ten different materials. I hide all except one object then do a "Remove unused materials " I loose all except the visible object material.
Ouch! thats a lot of reassigning in a big model

I am not sure that this has been brought up before? if so direct me to the thread.
Thanks

There's also an issue with that command related to materials on blocks - the plugin is looking through a list of objects, but it's not been created to correctly take some factors into account...I'll see that this gets fixed along with that one.

Happy new year to you as well.
