Ok, so I have reviewed the code and the command line parsing is a bit
odd... It separates options to commands and flags. -ui is a flag,
which is not entirely obvious. Options which seem to be interpreted as
commands are -sl, -slid, -s, -u, -v or category/port. Other options are
treated as flags -l, -ui, --resume, etc...
So, "portmanager -u -ui" seems to do what you want. I might break down
and rework the parsing code eventually, as I have had other complaints
about the way options are handled...
I remember when I added the -ui flag that I initially found it
confusing as to how the options were parsed.
I never did anything about it because I was only just learning things
at the time. :-)
