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...
When I look at the File Format entry for PDF (pdflatex) in LyX 1.4.2,
I see "auto". If this doesn't work for you, then you can replace this
by a custom command as Paul indicated. But typing in the name of the
viewer application (as you did) won't work because that's not an
executable command. Here's what you could try instead: put in
"open" (instead of "auto"), or try "open -a Preview" if you'd like to
use Preview and your system-wide default viewer is something else.
