Nope. It's Preview that is opened then. In fact, if I export the file

Then you need to check if you have something strange under preference
-> viewer -> pdf (several of them).
It's actually something strange about the way the new mechanism for
finding default viewers interacts with the OS. If you have never
explicitly set something as the default viewer for .pdf files, the
Finder thinks Preview.app is the default viewer, whereas LyX seems to
be told that Quicktime Player is the default viewer. The solution is
to locate a .pdf file in the Finder (any one: it doesn't matter),
select File > Get Info ..., and change the "Open with" application to
what you want. (This may require selecting something other than
Preview.app, and then reselecting Preview.app.) Then click on the
"Change all..." button, confirm that this is what you want to do, and
LyX should now recognize Preview.app as the default .pdf viewer.
Let me know if that doesn't work.
