Excel export enhancements

[lindehell]

Love that you have excel export in beta now. I have a few suggestions here as well.

1. Is it possible to have red thick lines as board borders? I work with midi so every 29 row and column. But since you pick what boardtype maybe this could be set for the type used.
2. Thin black/gray lines every five row/columbus. Makes it easier to work with in my opinion.

I also make the cells square in the way outlined here:

This gives you all the advantages of excel in a estethically pleasing and easy to use way.

Love your work on this tool

I always take the excel export and add these manually

First of all, thanks for your feedback, I implemented Excel export because some people ask for it but I'm not really a user using it, so thanks for such feedback regarding it.

Agreed on this, TBH it was in my TODO list but I completely forgot about it. However I dunno if 'red' and 'thick' would be the best possible solution, but as I said, we might have more credit to me regarding excel export.

Thin black/gray lines every five row/columbus. Makes it easier to work with in my opinion.

Dunno about this, while I understand the idea behind this, why should we create sub-board group in Excel export but not everywhere else ? It would be a good idea, but IMO it would have to be implemented in every exports then.

I tried to do it when implementing the Excel export, I guess there is few bugs out there (moreover since I do not have Excel and open these with LibreOfficeCalc the results might not be really accurate).

Is there any way for you to post screenshots here in order to have a better idea of your final files ?

Regarding square cell, I looked at it again and I'm already doing this kind of tricks.

worksheet.properties.defaultRowHeight = 40;
worksheet.properties.defaultColWidth = 40 / 7.025;

Everything looks absolutely square here (at least using LibreOffice) :

Are you sure it is not a default setting in your Excel or whatever ? Would be hard for me to try to fix this without more input TBH.
