 Hi!

 I've seen this before with LyX 1.6.5 on Mac OS X but never reported it. Now,
 working with LyX 2.0.0 alpha3, I have the same problem: View works fine, but
 I've never got Update working. I've to close the current view (whatever PDF
 viewer I am using, Adobe or Skim, for instance), to get an updated view.

 Please, am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

The distinction between View and Update doesn't make much difference
on Mac. What you need to do is set up your pdf viewer to pay attention
to changes in the .pdf file. In Skim, you can do that via Skim 
Preferences  Sync  Check for file changes.

I guess it has to be with how Mac builds images on screen. Being this 
truth, doesn't make it sense to remove the update button from the Mac 
version?


I've no idea about how tough this action would be!

Thanks for your help!
