Sure. We understand this.

It thus seems that XXE lacks the option to set the default viwer to
always be used. Or is there something that I have not gotten?
You are right. There is indeed something wrong in XXE when you prefer
to always use the default viewer for a given file type. More
generally, the Helper Apps feature should be more convenient to use.
We'll try to improve this feature in the next version of XXE.
Great!
Thank you for reporting this issue.
I discovered a simple workaround ... In the Helper Apps section of the
Preferences, the command
open "%U”
is (by default) defined as the «Default viewer» (strange terminology
btw).
And it turns out that, for the PDF file type, if you replace
open -W -n -a /System/Applications/Preview.app "%F"
with the «Default viewer» command
open "%U”
then I get the behavior that I want: PDFs gets opend by your default
PDF-viewer (typically the Preview.app on MacOS), and you also avoid that
a new instance of your default PDF-viewer is opened each time you click
the fil in XXE’s Browse Files tool.
