Multi currency Transactions cannot be exported from the Android App - Why?

Dear All,

The Android App supports multi currency transactions in exactly the same
way as the Windows version of GNU Cash.

However when I export these transactions to drop box for uploading into
my desk top version of GNU Cash it exports everything except any multi
currency transactions which are ignored and dumped. They do not go to
the exported file neither are they left in the Android App (assuming you
opted to delete exported transactions).

I cannot understand why this should be. 

Why would you permit multi currency transactions to be entered into the
Android App and then prevent them from being unloaded to the desk top?

I have a work around, cack handed it may be, but it works for me. Now I
have created accounts on the phone such as Cash in Wallet - Euro -
Phone. I keep the currency on these accounts as GBP. This means that the
transactions entered in the local currency are included in the export.

When I have uploaded the transactions on the desk top I edit each
transaction to move it into it's appropriate currency account and update
the conversion rate as appropriate for each transaction.

Are there any plans to include Multi Currency Transactions in the export
of transactions from the Android App?
