Proposal: Add support for notes

[juancarrey]

Hello,

I am building a basic diff&mege tool for excel files, and I am looking for support of read/write on Cell.Notes so that users can add notes to their "conflict resolution" on cells.

Do you have any guidelines for contribution ? Are you open to incorporate note support ? It might seem like a good feature that should not affect performance as I assume (not a raw excel format expert..) might be easy to do lazily,

Thanks

There's already note/comment write support (https://github.com/dhatim/fastexcel/commit/45c9adcad9d1508fb7203f5c2aba82c6bb60c04e)

Comments are stored I separate file in xlsx (xl/comment1.xml), so this may be implemented lazily. The whole vml part may be ignored when reading.

@juancarrey I hope you put your tool to github when it will be ready :)

Is this feature (reading comments) still in demand ? I could take a bite at it.

I ended up not really needing it, had some of it done and was doing some tests, but wasn't very happy with the approach though.
