In preferences I have unchecked 'autocheck for updates', but everytime I start yumex, it checks for updates. Then I have to click on 'Available' and wait again as it does its think before I get the list of all apps so I can search for whatever I am looking for. Quite a rather unpleasant experience.
So how do I set yumex to skip checking for updates and just go to what is available?

Edit -> Preferences Uncheck "Autocheck for updates"

Sorry. Didn't see that you already have unchecked. Don't know what to suggest. It works for me.

It has never worked for me. Or maybe it did in the early days of yumex, but definitely not F20 or F18. Just got really frustrated with it this time.
Yes I **KNOW** I have updates to apply. I will get to it and I am perfectly capable of running 'yum update' from a command line. I use yumex when I am looking for something, like recently about what might be available as an amplifier program.

I run F20 on both my machines and have unchecked "Autocheck for updates" on one of them. It is reflected into ~/.config/yumex/yumex.conf as autorefresh = 0. There is also a /etc/yumex.conf which is the default settings. It has autorefresh = 1. Try and check how your settings are.

OK, now we are getting somewhere. my ./config/yumex/yumex.conf has autorefresh=1 even though the GUI preferences has "Autocheck for updates" unchecked. Curious and curiouser. WHat else do you have checked? I have "Load packages on launch" and "show newest only is active by defaut'.

I have nothing else changed from the default. I just want to start yumex without autocheck because I often use it to check availability of certain packages and don't want to wait for yumex to check for updates which sometimes takes an awful long time to no avail.
