[Released] Zaz Portable 1.0.0 Development Test 1

Sorry Chris, title is still wrong. I copy+pasted it and was going to include a "=>" pointing to the corrected string, but decided against it and didn't fix the typo. (Develpoment => Development)

Works on XP SP2 and XP SP3. Works both with and without admin privileges.

No files were left behind! (it's clean)
No relevant registry entries were left behind! (it's clean)

Note: I haven't tried the "Export video" option (available when you finish a level) in neither of my tests, so I can't tell how you handled that...

Now, my reports wouldn't feel right if there weren't some bugs involved...

I noticed one bug (not portability related): In the main menu, when you change volume (applies to Music), it still plays music in the menu, as if nothing has changed. Once you enter the game, the music volume is as you set it to be, but only while playing (while you're in a level). Once you exit to the main menu, the music volume restores and is as before you played. It's annoying if a user wishes the game to be quieter, but it's only quiet in-level, while in the main menu it gets loud again... Please try to reproduce, and contact the developer about the oversight.

Reproducing:
- start Zaz
- go to "Options"
- decrease the "Music volume", click "Apply"
- the music will continue to play.

• appinfo.ini: "Description=Zaz is a game where the player has to get rid of incoming balls by arranging them in triplets. The idea of the game is loosely based on games like Luxor, Zuma and Puzzle Bobble." A shorter single sentence which makes more sense would be better. How about this: "Description=Zaz is a game in which you try to destroy incoming balls by arranging them by colour"
• appinfo.ini: "Publisher=Zaz development team & PortableApps.com (vf2nsr repackager)" would be better as "Publisher=Zaz team & PortableApps.com (vf2nsr)" or "Publisher=Zaz team & PortableApps.com".
• appinfo.ini: Homepage and Start use Zazportable, should be ZazPortable
• A note on style: you have a [DirectoriesMove] line settings\.zaz=%APPDATA%\.zaz; that would be neater as appdata=%APPDATA%\.zaz, I think; it's not worth changing now with this (and putting custom code in the installer to rename settings\.zaz to appdata), just nicer for next time (flat is better than nested). The names don't have to match.
• You've got a slightly old app template (with AppNamePortable.ini missing and a bit different text in Readme.txt); refresh the contents of Other\Source with the app template from the PAL page.
• App\Zaz\unins000.exe should be removed.
• Don't include appicon_128.png or the 256x256 icon in appicon.ico if they're that ugly! (John's providing a nicer 128x128 logo.)
• help.html: "Zaz ain't Z*** is a puzzle game where the player has to arrange balls in triplets." isn't a tagline. "destroy all the balls" or something like that.
• Language switching is easy. Tack this on to the end of ZazPortable.ini. (Tested successfully.)

John's just preparing this for release so this report is mainly for him but I think vf2nsr should find it helpful too.
