State Tool is primarily an application distribution tool. State Tool allows Mac OS X lab admins to capture changes in system states between application installs; with this information, the lab admin is then able to create "Application Wrappers," which are containers for all the changes made.

Place one of these applications wrappers on a server and then having an end user opening it would cause all the changes to be applied to the current system.

So instead of having to create new images and distributing them to an entire lab, State Tool allows applications to be distributed when the user needs it, allowing for image sizes to be drastically cut and image deployment time to be cut significantly.

Limitations:
Registration screen at startup.

What's New:
Fixed bug where after a second save, app wrappers would lose their icon.
