That's certainly a possibility... But it is really a big goal of this new system to try and reduce the amount of UI and try to get multiple functions out of just one system, instead of having multiple systems and multiple "manager" UIs for each system...

One other thing that could work is if an object could be assigned to have one particular tag as the "preferred" tag for export purposes.

But probably the easiest thing for me to do at first will be to just export the tags directly as layers if you have set them up to be compatible with layers (having an object only under one tag)...
