Bug Description

KiCad 5.1.2-1

Double clicking on a PDF in a project displays an error "Unable to find a PDF viewer for FILENAME".

If I go into Preferences and manually set the PDF viewer helper app to the system Preview.app it will open properly. Setting that back to the "System default PDF viewer" makes the error come back.
