#51 PDF preview and External PDF do not work OS X

[Kale Good]

In OS X Tiger, attempts to use external PDF and PDF preview fail.

I'm not incredibly handy with these things, so this may be a simple error on my part. That being said, I am relatively confident that I have my file paths correct for the external PDF viewer.

Activity Log shows this:

In case these are needed, here is the output for other operations:

I think this is has been fixed in jEdit 4.3 - make sure you have the latest version of the plugins.
