Issue when the object ins't included in the default collection

Hi Rombout,
I'm learning Blender 2.8 and I installed your version of uvlayout_bridge and I found an issue if the object isn't include in the default collection.
macOS 11.13.6 & uvlayout_bridge 0.6.4 & Blender 2.80.45
Error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Oxer/Library/Application Support/Blender/2.80/scripts/addons/uvlayout_bridge/__init__.py", line 772, in execute
    UVL_IO()

AttributeError: 'Object' object has no attribute 'collection'

location: <unknown location>:-1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Select the object (whitout collection / included in antoher collection / different to default collection)
2. Click on 'Unwrap in UVlayout >'

It's very easy fix the issue, to move it to the default collection, for that it would be a good idea to add an alert when the object isn't included in the default collection. If the object is included in another collection, it appears the same error message.

[BUG]

OS: Windows

ADDON:

• Version: 0.6.5

Describe the bug
I have a problem, when Send model from UVLayout:

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\hocru\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.93\scripts\addons\uvlayout_bridge_init_.py", line 783, in execute

ret = _op_call(self.idname_py(), None, kw)
TypeError: Converting py args to operator properties: : keyword "global_clight_size" unrecognized

location: :-1

[REQUEST] Support for Blender 4.0+

Currently the plugin does not work with the 4.0 series of Blender. This is due to bpy.ops.export_scene.obj being deprecated in favor of bpy.ops.wm.obj_export. We can get around this temporarily by manually rewriting the code in the AppData folder but some of the parameters have been renamed or are not available in the new function. There may also be a few other scripts that are broken due to similar changes.
