hello,

I thought, before submitting a feature request (https://construct3.ideas.aha.io), I will ask here first.

Would it be useful to have a functionality in C3 that checks (for example when exporting) if a sprite is in use by an event?

I am sometimes messy and notice unused global variables and sprites.

But projects usually have sprites that are not used in events, so the result will not be waterproof.

This feature could be a possible checklist, but I do not know if the checklist will be readable with large projects.

What is your opinion?

That is actually super useful and included in most programming IDE's that I have used. Sort of like a warning box saying "hey, x, y, z is not used." From experience, a lot of programmers end up just ignoring such warnings...but definitely helpful to those who use it.
