Looking for feedback on my applescript app, give it a try!

Question

http://www.cbreier.com/2012/06/art-utility-beta.html
I've started creating interfaces for some of my Illustrator scripts so that it would make them easier to use. There's a youtube demo of it at the above link. It's a standalone app so it won't affect your installation of illustrator (it won't add extra menu items etc). It's easy to uninstall, just drag it to the trash if you don't like it. There's a feedback form for reporting bugs and for giving general feedback. Let me know if you find it useful!
FEATURES:
Artboard Resize: Select an object and click "page size" to change the current artboard to the size of the selection. Add a border by entering a number in the text field. A negative number will make the artboard smaller than the selection.
Select Every: text frame, path item or placed item in the document.
Add Dimensions to Selection: Automatically call out the dimensions of a selection. It adds the width and height in inches, mm, or cm.
Add Dieline Swatch: Adds a "dieline" spot color to the swatches–  spot colors are usually used to call non printing items so that they separate from the process colors.
Current Date: Copy the current date to the clipboard with a click of a button.
Slug Info: creates a text frame that includes basic information about the the document; name of the computer user, date and time that the slug was updated, the file name, the file path, file creation date, file modification date, document width, and document height.
Ink Names: adds all of the ink names used in the artwork to the document. Conveniently colors each ink name in its own color.
Grids: Draw complex grids within a rectangular selection with a click of a button.
Guides: Automatically draws guides around the perimeter of a selection or the artboard. Can also draw guides on the vertical and horizontal centers of the artboard or selection.
Unit Converter: converts between in, cm, mm, points/pixels.
Scale Percentage Calculator: takes the guesswork out of scaling to a specific size. Enter the current dimension and the desired dimension and it will calculate the exact percentage to scale it at.
