I'd limit my list of portable apps to 3:
* An application manager capable of working in a similar fashion of how a game editor and his triggers works.
Example: Condition 1 is met, Condition to 2 as well (defined perhaps as system variables)
Examples of them: Idle time is more than 5 minutes, max cpu usage is 60%, memory RAM usage is 80%, uptime is 24 hours, etc.
To be able to define complex conditions "If...." and actions "execute this application with the following command if the conditions are met; close this application if the following conditions are met. If the variables or possible triggers were to be implemented as modular plugins or addons that could be created by a community, the available functionality would/may be even further expanded. In game editors there are conditions such as "if trigger A was succesfully executed to true/or false", to enable to create triggers based on the output of another trigger or specify another trigger output as a condition for execution of another one.
In terms of computer resources or management of applications, it would allow for the system to better take care of itself unattendedly.
Example: given certain circumstances, a portable application could run and terminate itself once conditions are no longer met.
*A full-featured portable automation program, with support for identifying text/buttons in windows along with actions such as wait x minutes.
*A virtual file manager/catalog capable of handling large amount of files. Creating directory snapshots every given days and ability to compare them against each one (created/deleted/modified files/folders) and in time/draw statistics, such as the growing rate in terms of file items/size for a given directory, expected required disk space for next 6 months.
Ideally it could serve as a way of visualizating changes in time/history of drives files and folders, as well as keeping a catalog/listing of files folders in the created snapshots. Perhaps with functionality to relate a given file/folder in a snapshot to the same file/folder listing in other snapshots providing statistics about it.
Example: File 1, snapshot 2012 06 No changes, snapshot 2012 05 Added 5 files, deleted 1 / Growth in 22 MB, snapshot 2012 04 No changes
Overall statistics: growth rate / 3 months, total added files.
Edit: It's been more than 3 months that the draft had been hold.
