No SumatraPDF menu under Tools › LaTeX; forward and inverse search not work

Type of JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ, PyCharm, etc.) and version

IDEA 2022.1, PyCharm 2022.1

Operating System

Windows 10

TeXiFy IDEA version

0.7.18

What I did (steps to reproduce)

1. Installed texify-idea from plugins market.
2. Restart, created a helloworld latex project. Right clicked main.tex and run Main.
3. (Found I don’t have sumatra, so) Download SumatraPDF-3.4.4-64-install.exe, and installed in D:
4. Open out/main.pdf by double click. The output is OK.
5. Forward search not worked properly(no any response); Inverse search just opened notebook.
6. Started searching how to configure texify-idea, but found nothing useful.
7. Tried to add sumatra’s installation path to PATH. Not work.

Actual behavior

1. No SumatraPDF menu under Tools › LaTeX

2. forward and inverse search not work

3. In IDEA, double shifting and typing config inverse search could find the result, but was gray(can’t be clicked)

4. After compiling successfully, sumatra pdf doesn’t open automatically.

5. If I enabled Select custom PDF viewer command, ...... option, Sumatra launched properly, but search still not worked.

Should I reinstall sumatra?

Thanks, I’ve solve it. I find the two ways below are invalid on my pc (win11+pycharm, latest).

1. select custom path on pycharm
2. add system path

I solve it by open cmd run regedit, find this item you mentioned:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

just new a item SumatraPDF.exe and set data to its path

finally, I get it

And the registry item was not added automatically by installer

Thanks for reporting back. Sounds like a bug in the installer then, as I’m pretty sure it used to do that in the past.
