[Bug] + [Solved] Gemini models not updated #884
Description
1. Press Cmd+Shift+P in Void, and type Help: About. Please paste the information here. Also let us know any other relevant details, like the model and provider you're using if applicable.
2. Describe the issue/feature here!
The Void editor currently appears to have an outdated or hardcoded list of available models, making it impossible to select or use newer Gemini models like Gemini-2.5-pro or Gemini-2.5-flash directly from the editor's interface.
This prevents users from leveraging the latest advancements in Google's models within the editor, which is a significant limitation for those who rely on or prefer the Void editor.
Proposed Solution / Feature Request:
It would be highly beneficial to implement a mechanism (e.g., a configurable settings file or a UI option) that allows users to easily add, update, or remove model tags and their corresponding configurations without having to manually modify the editor's core files.
Current Workaround (Manual File Modification):
Until a proper solution is implemented, users can manually update the model tags by following these steps:
- Navigate to the Void editor's root installation folder (e.g.,
C:\Program Files\Void). - Open a text editor with "Find in Files" capability (e.g., Notepad++, VS Code).
- Use the "Find in Files" feature:
- In the "Find What" box, enter the outdated Gemini model tag you wish to replace (e.g.,
gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25). - In the "Replace with" box, enter the new, desired model tag (e.g.,
gemini-2.5-pro).
- In the "Find What" box, enter the outdated Gemini model tag you wish to replace (e.g.,
- Execute the "Replace All in Files" operation.
- Repeat this process for
Gemini-2.5-flashand any other model tags you wish to update. While it is technically possible to add entirely new model tags this way, please proceed with extreme caution as this involves directly modifying the editor's installation files and could lead to instability if done incorrectly.
