Re: [Libreoffice] LO Custom properties

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the reply.
I was not getting the codebase through git because I'm behind proxy. I tried
http as well, but couldn't manage to get the latest codebase.
The one I have was downloaded long back, so I was using it specifically for
my problem of custom properties.

And I read what you suggested to Olivier. But still I am unable to clone the
code. I'll try downloading the latest tarballs though. Because git is almost
next to impossible for me.

Thank You.
Regards,
Swagat
