[FEATURE] Add "AI" support

[pbek]

Interesting, good to know. Thank you!

[pbek]

Currently, you can create API Keys at https://console.groq.com/keys for free to play around.

Many thanks for this interesting development, Patrizio. Unfortunately, the AI toolbar doesn't function properly in my portable installation (24.5.4, with previously customised toolbars and layout). Only one button can be enabled manually (first row, far right):

On a clean portable install, this is how it looks with two drop-down lists (AI toolbar moved down to improve screenshot):

Is there anything I can do to make it work in my existing installation? In the AI toolbar settings, AI backend selector and AI model selector (which provide the drop-down lists) are not listed, and I couldn't find those in any of the toolbar items in the left column.

Update: the issue has been fixed by editing QOwnNotes.ini. I removed some lines (struck out below) and re-numbered (highlighted in bold) the subsequent lines:

5\name=aiToolbar
5\title=AI toolbar
5\items=@invalid()
6\name=windowToolbar
6\title=window toolbar
6\items=actionWorkspaceComboBox, actionStore_as_new_workspace, actionRemove_current_workspace, actionRename_current_workspace, actionSwitch_to_previous_workspace, actionUnlock_panels, , actionToggle_distraction_free_mode, action_Increase_note_text_size, action_Decrease_note_text_size, action_Reset_note_text_size
7\name=quitToolbar
7\title=quit toolbar
7\items=action_Export_note_as_PDF_markdown, actionExport_preview_HTML, customAction_pandocExport, action_Settings, action_Quit

New code:

5\name=windowToolbar
5\title=window toolbar
5\items=actionWorkspaceComboBox, actionStore_as_new_workspace, actionRemove_current_workspace, actionRename_current_workspace, actionSwitch_to_previous_workspace, actionUnlock_panels, , actionToggle_distraction_free_mode, action_Increase_note_text_size, action_Decrease_note_text_size, action_Reset_note_text_size
6\name=quitToolbar
6\title=quit toolbar
6\items=action_Export_note_as_PDF_markdown, actionExport_preview_HTML, customAction_pandocExport, action_Settings, action_Quit

If the toolbar gets too long it's just cut off, you can either move toolbar items to somewhere else or turn off toolbars you don't need.

[alexanderino]

It's not the length. I could move the AI toolbar item to the start, and it would still show only one button (after adding it manually — until then, there was no button on the AI toolbar).

Anyway, editing it out of the INI file fixed the issue.

[pbek]

Only one button? Did you try to move the enable button from the main menu to a toolbar manually?
There is an AI toolbar with the button and two selectors, that just can be turned on...

I turned it on after upgrading to 24.5.4, and only a blank toolbar (no icons) appeared.

Only one button? Did you try to move the enable button from the main menu to a toolbar manually?

Yes, and that's how I managed to show the 'database' button. The two dropdown list items are nowhere to be found.

Really!? What OS and what Qt version do you have?

Yes, there is no drop-down in the main menu. Those are added in source code, like e.g. the workspace selector. 🤔

[alexanderino]

Really!? What OS and what Qt version do you have?

Windows 11, Qt 5.15.2 (official 24.5.2 build). Also occurs with Windows 10.

[pbek]

I just tried it on a Windows 8 VM. Updated from a year-old release of QOwnNotes. The AI Toolbar was intact for me, just cut off because there was no space to show it in full... I made a little room and the backend and model selector were present.

[alexanderino]

Is the toolbar layout/buttons customised?

[pbek]

The AI toolbar? No.

[alexanderino]

I customised other toolbars' buttons before the AI toolbar was introduced. Those changes are stored in the QOwnNotes.ini file. Maybe this is what resulted in my issue. After all, a clean portable install of 24.5.4 has no problems with the AI toolbar.

[pbek]

Hm, maybe...
And you are really sure the toolbar was not just cut off? Your first screenshot doesn't really show that. 🤔

[alexanderino]

Definitely not cut off. Both rows are fully presented. I've highlighted the AI toolbar, showing the blank space where the drop-down lists should have been:

[pbek]

If there is not enough room, the whole widget will not be shown. I can't say if there was enough room on your screenshot.

[alexanderino]

I have a backup of the INI file before I modified it. Here are screenshots of the entire program using it:

Upon start-up, the AI Toolbar is hiding here:

AI toolbar moved up to the top row and expanded. No buttons are visible:

No button listed in the AI toolbar settings:

Enable AI support added from the Edit toolbar item list:

This is the result — one button:
