No, LyX/Mac does not dynamically update to Preview in PDF or pdflatex mode. It does dynamically update to MacDviX, which I much prefer for previewing because LyX/Mac includes reverse DVI search -- when you Option-Click in the DVI preview, LyX jumps to that point in the original file. The same feature is also available with xdvi. LyX/Mac is a Carbon app, compilable from the same LyX source code that is used for the other supported LyX platforms. This was a very important goal in developing the port. -- Ronald Florence www.18james.com
