No, this does not work now in 1.4.2. First, there is no PDF file
format as in the previous version. There are only file formats for
the pdflatex etc flavors of viewing. If I type in the OSX pdf
viewer, /Applications/Preview.app that does nothing. Indeed, in
previous versions of Lyx for the mac there was a "PDF" file format
and it would naturally pick up the default pdf viewer, namely
Preview. This seems like a problem to me...

is changed?
Any ideas? I've never had any lyx problems before this! Thanks...
Go to
Tools --> Preferences --> File formats
and there configure the PDF (pdflatex) viewer.
