I the current delelopment branch in CVS, i have integrated the progress dialog in the output page. > Also, a Section of options, allowing what yum would allow itslef, such as -C (Run from Cache) or -y (Assume yes to questions) in a section of preferences or on a side window for switches etc etc. Yumex is not running yum in the background, it uses the Yum Python API, so the switches dont make much sense, most of then things you can do with switches on yum are embedded in yumex. The '-c' run from cache is the only feature i can think of, that is missing in yumex.
I have made a lot of improvment to the loading of metadat in the current development edition of Yum Extender.
