Custom props are certainly useful, but more so if the user knows what's happening.
In the standalone builder I'm making it also uses a single custom property, but before it's added it notifies the user and asks permission, or lets the user save the metadata to a file. For all subsequent runs once the property has been added it no longer asks.
Not all circumstances allow such flexibility, but at least letting the use know is a step in the right direction (and of course refraining from all use of custom props where any alternative will work, such as colorizing on the fly rather than cashing a huge htmlText version of the script).
