Hi, great extension you've created!
I'm trying to get export to work where it automatically creates additional columns for sub-tasks:

Basically, I think that the "part 1" and "part 2", as sub-tasks underneath "thing 4", should have their own empty csv column, and start being listed in the second column. You'd have to have a variable number of columns before the "start" and "end" time columns, in order to represent sub-task levels in this way. But I think it would be better / more intuitive.

Also, I tried coding up a solution that would simply detect the blank spaces in the timestamps, to auto-indent the stuff below. But in fact, it's not possible to do this, because there's no way to recognize when we've hit the last item in a sub-hierarchy! Eg. After Part 1, the task "Thing 5" is not recognizable as its own top-level task. This means no program analyzing it (or really, any person who didn't know about the tasks) would be able to recognize where a sub-task list ends and a new top-level task begins, as far as I can tell.
