This fixes the Blender -> ZBrush refresh path on Windows by using GoZBrushFromApp.exe when available instead of launching ZBrush.exe directly. It also keeps derived GoZ file paths in sync when the GoZ root changes, which helps avoid writing to one GoZ location while reading from another.

In practice, this addresses cases where export appears to succeed but ZBrush does not update.

Have you tested that using the GozBrushFromApp.exe retains all the same features like polygroups and stuff? I don't know why the addon was originaly built not using it, so I assumed there must be a reason for it. I will do some testing with these changes when I have time.

Assuming it is feature complete this seems like a cleaner way to do things but in practice does it actually solve anything the new update hasn't addressed?
