Fellas, just so we're clear...

Every custom prop I add to a user's work product is done by their choice. Each preference that adds a custom property is documented in the Preferences section of Constellation where you can chose whether or not to use them. In the case of constellation they may amount to 25 to 30 bytes.

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).
