Can find some content, not all

I've been using DAZ Connect to install much of my content for DS so far (haven't installed very much since building my new PC). It works great for DS but Carrara doesn't see most of it. It sees some of it but not much. I'm not sure why this install is different than last time. I've even navigated to the folder for DAZ Connect and pointed Carrara to that but it didn't work. What is the best protocol in harmonizing everything? I'm not going to use DC and DIM to install content twice, that would be wasteful. I'd like to play around with some animation and physics, particle simulation etc in Carrara without having to export posed figures as .obj from DS.

Carrara doesn't use Daz Connect. If you want content to appear in Carrara, you need to use DIM or manual install. Connect is DS-only.
That appears to be not 100% true. Some of the items that Carrara can see were installed using DC. Example V3 Apocalyptic Sun was installed with DC and Carrara can see it. When I open DIM, it is still in the "Ready to Download" section.
V3 would be poser content
do you a "content" folder added to your carrara browser?
content separate option than poser runtime
Yes. I don't understand why some of the Genesis essentials are available in Carrara, such as built in shaders and lights, while genesis figures and most of the wardrobe is not.
your setup musn't be quite right as all your Genesis products should be available in Carrara... well, mine is.. but I don't use the Daz Connect as it's only for DS.. if DRM is on the products then they won't show in Carrara..
There is two structures in Carrara to see your products ( not including any Runtime folders you may have created seperately )
The Poser structure ( My Daz 3D Library Runtime )
and the
Daz Studio structure ( My Daz3D Library )
both these should be seen in the Carrara Content TAB.... if they are not then you will need to set them up.
are you looking on the carrara smart tab or the content tab?
if you lookin on the smart tab, think that requires importing meta data to your cms.
