Hi dazzer.
Sorry not to reply sooner...
I use Dim Pro on Leopard in Logic Pro 8 and Live 6/7 and it works fine once patched to 1.3.
The big problem with the 1.3 patch seems to stem (in some cases) from people starting with the wrong one of the two patches, both called 1.3:
- One updates a current Dim Pro installation to 1.3, and assumes that you got there either by upgrading your OS to Leopard, or by using the migration assistant to populate a clean Leopard install with your old system's files. In this case, you have the samples, and the plugin, and just need the plugin updated to 1.3. It won't ask for sample disks, since it things they're already there.
- The other assumes a clean install with NO pre-existing Dim Pro installation. This one is actually the plugin installer, which will then ask for your data disks for the samples.
This scheme led to quite a few people who's symptoms suggested (to me, at least) that they were using the updater on a clean installation, since they said things like: it didn't ask for disks, etc.
There are also some reports of the disks ejecting without being read, etc., that sound like a possible installer bug or some system incompatibility.
Neither happened to me. I did a clean install of Leopard, downloaded the 1.3 installer, ran it, inserted my disks, and everything was fine.
In any event, I would imagine that if you order Dimension Pro now, you'll get disks with the proper installer on them (1.3), and should be fine.
Take care,
