Products installed via DazCentral are not coming up in Studio
My computer has two harddrives: a small SSD, and a larger HDD. I installed everything to the D: (bigger) drive and things worked well enough.
A couple of Daz Studio versions back, DazCentral instgalled an update to Studio onto my C: drive which futzed with my directories and content. Fortunately, a new update was pushed and I didn't have to redownload all of my products.
Recently, another update was pushed and now everything I've downloaded in the last six months is gone from Studio, even though DazCentral says it's good. I've tried editing my directories ('content' tab in Studio's settings panel) and it didn't fix the problem.
Everything shows up fine in DazCentral, but isn't in Studio. I checked Smart Content and Content Library. If I click the green 'Open' button in Studio, I get a "content not found" error.
I tried seeking help on the forums, here, and in the big-G-search, to no avail. Is there an easy way to fix this without downloading ALL my content? (I've been getting freebies and cheap stuff since 2008! That's a LOT of content.

Where exactly is the content installed on your drive, and what do you have setup as content directories in DS preferences?
This was double-posted, apparently. (I promise I only clicked [submit] once!) I updated theprevious post, but I updated the previous post but that one was deleted. I've updated this one, below.
I had a LOT of content, both DAZ and 3rd-Party with over 10 years of goodies accumulated, so too much to give a detailed list. (mostly "\DAZ3D" and "\Users\???\My Documents\Daz 3D\Studio\" + "My Daz Connect Library" and "My Library" and ad a few others.)
My issue was with "Popcorn the Goat" and from there I discovered a lot of my other goodies were not available, either.
UPDATE: After I posted the issue, I kept tinkering and eventually discovered that DazCentral was updating a different database than DazStudio was reading. In DC it shows the base folder, but not the content folders it uses. After some seeking and finding with DazStudio/DIM, I was able to determine the specific filenames and find their duplicates' locations. From there, I pointed DS and DIM to the location DC was updating. Now, it seems to be working again. (I'm doing the 'Install' part within DS, right now.)
