Does anyone know if this is necessarily the case also on MacOs X?
Both Acrobat reader and the Preview application seem tho behave as their Windows counterpart: you need to close the old file before you can see the latest version produced by LyX. But gv (run under the Xwindow system, of course) behaves as its Linux counterpart: you can set it to watch the file and update it from LyX. Conclusion: it is not an Os related constraint.
Question, then: does anyone know if it is possible to get the native MacOs apps (Preview, Acr Reader) to do the same?

I have the impression ths is Standard behaviour under Windows: You simply can't write to a file as long as it is used by another one. Nice playground for DOS attack I presume. OTOH hand, there is rarely more than one person working on the same Windows machine at a time.
