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.
OK, I can give that a go, but if I do 'open file.pdf' from the
command line, it does open in Preview, not QT Player. It seems LyX
perhaps does not read the default viewer correctly.
