Which materials are in use?

I'm pretty sure this is not available in MR 2.7 and I haven't seen it in the 3.0 video's;

Can there be an indication in Studio which materials are in use in the scene, or which materials are assigned to an object. I now work with scene's packed with materials and often materials are clones of each other because of importing various models. I like to keep my scene's clean and organized.

3ds Max does this by adding little triangles to each corner of the material preview. But there are many ways to make this clear. :)

Thank you.

There isn't such an option, but you do have the option to "Remove unused materials" if you right click in the material panel.

Thank you for the tip! Helps me a lot.

It's still a harsh solution, something like I suggested would be more subtle and functional. :)
