CSV export / import doesn't handle stereo input channels correctly

Hi all - I may be missing something, but I encountered a possible bug in CSV import / export from Director v2.03 (Mac OS).

If you have a show with input stereos, for instance:
Channel 13 - Stereo channel called Keys1 (Input port 1&2)
Channel 15 - Stereo channel called Keys2 (Input port 3&4)

When you export CSV it only exports the info for channel 13 (with input port 1) and channel 15 (with input port 3) as if they are mono channels. Channels 14 and 16 are not listed in the CSV export, they are just skipped.

It appears that the “Left” and “right” values of stereo channels are not being exported. If I add them to the CSV and fill in the missing channel data it imports everything correctly but does not create a stereo channel on the desk, which makes me wonder what the “Left” and “Right” values in the CSV are for?
