About Dependencies and References back to top
FooBrain will allow you to keep track not only of what dependencies exist for a given version and platform, but also what other applications currently depend on the version and platform. Consider tracking the third-party applications you reference in FooBrain so you will have a complete view of your dependency structure. Dependencies are added and deleted only from the consuming application.
Adding Dependencies back to top
To add a new dependency go to the application and version that is making the reference (the consuming version). Tap the 'add dependency' button
on the dependencies panel
. Specify which application you are referencing in the top dropdown and which associated version you are referencing in the bottom dropdown. Only applications and versions that match the platforms you are dealing with will be available. If you have multiple platforms per version, you will need to add the dependencies for each one separately.
Removing Dependencies back to top
To remove a dependency go to the application and version that is making the reference (the consuming version). Select the dependency item in the list and then tap the 'delete dependency' button
. To modify a dependency item, simply delete and re-create it.
Viewing Referencing Versions back to top
To view all applications and versions that are referencing a give version, go to the dependency panel for that version and tap the 'Referenced By' radio button.
Filtering the Dependency/Reference Lists back to top
The dependency/reference lists can be filtered using the platform filter dropdown
in the upper right.
About Auxiliaries back to top
In the auxiliaries panel
you can track installs, patches, preference files and any other ancillary item associated with a version and platform.
Adding Auxiliaries back to top
Add an auxiliary by tapping the 'add auxiliary' button
, then give the item a name and description. An identical auxiliary is created for each platform checked in the platform filter dropdown
in the upper right.
Editing Auxiliaries back to top
Edit an existing auxiliary by selecting the item in the auxiliary list and tapping the 'edit auxiliary' button
.
Removing Auxiliaries back to top
Delete an existing auxiliary by selecting the item in the auxiliary list and tapping the 'delete auxiliary' button

Recording Notes back to top
When a version is made active, any general notes recorded on the notes panel
are automatically saved with all platforms collectively.
