Additional Tools Integration: Your Thoughts?

[Palm1r]

I'm considering potential improvements for QodeAssist that could enhance functionality through external tools, particularly for better context understanding. Before proceeding with development, I'd like to get your input on this approach.

Potential Enhancement Example

We could improve context analysis by integrating with Python libraries for:

• Better code parsing
• Enhanced semantic analysis
• More accurate symbol understanding
• Improved project context handling

The Trade-off Question

This would require installing additional components beyond the QtCreator plugin:

• A Python runtime
• Specific Python libraries
• A small service/daemon for handling these operations

Key Questions

1. Would you be willing to install additional components if they significantly improve QodeAssist's capabilities?
2. What's your perspective on adding external dependencies vs keeping everything within QtCreator?
3. What would be your preferred installation method if we go this route?
4. How important is a standalone plugin (no external dependencies) to you?

Let's discuss the balance between enhanced functionality and installation simplicity!

As an additional integration with external resources, I can think of one case so far.
Let's say you ask AI to fix main.cpp. If AI generates a new main-AI.cpp, I would like QtCreator for show a git merge conflict for the two and then I can selectively import each fixed line into my main.cpp.
Is it doable? I think so. If you get anthing like main.cpp in AI responce followed with '''cpp I think is a good indication that this is main-AI.cpp and then save it and call git merge on them. Or even QtCreators own diff viewer.
Just an idea.

I'm in the process of creating maximum customization for working with llm, I think it will cover your feature
