i use lyx on mac (newest) and pdflatex - function opens the pdf in safari,
not in preview

that works, but is odd...

can i change that

Yes. There is a bug involving the interaction between LyX and the Finder. Two things you can do here; if the first thing doesn't work on its own, try the second as well.

1. From within the Finder, select any .pdf file. Do File > Get Info... and change the "Open with:" drop-down list to something other than Preview, and then select Preview again. Then click on the "Change all..." button (confirming that you want to do this from the dialog that pops up). Now when you view your .lyx document as PDF, it should open in Preview. If this doesn't work, also do the following:

2. Within LyX, select LyX > Preferences > File Formats > PDF. In the Viewer field, enter "open" (without the quotes), click on the "Modify" button and then on the "Save" button. Now this should fix your LyX problem.
