Sorry, I realised I need debug logging here. Could you please go to Help > Diagnostic Tools > Debug Log Settings and add #nl.hannahsten.texifyidea.util.Log in that dialog. Then install the following build, then run your file and check if Sumatra is opened. If not, please upload idea.log.

Also please try providing the path manually in the run configuration again.
