Hi all
The Sticky Agenda is something I have been waiting for since a long
time. Thank you very much!
I want to write a function that creates a new frame with several
windows, each displaying a different Agenda Views. I fail to find a
function that creates special agenda views. Formerly I used
org-batch-agenda for similar purposes. But that doesn't work in the
sticky branch. This is what I have:
(defun my-gtd-frame ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion)
(make-frame '(
(name . "gtd")
(active-alpha . 0.75)
(inactive-alpha . 0.8)
(top . 110)
(left . 2000)
(width . 80)
(height . 40)
(font . "-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--18-180-75-75-M-110-ISO8859-1")))
(select-frame-by-name "gtd")
(toggle-fullscreen)
(org-agenda-goto-today)
(delete-other-windows)
(split-window-horizontally)
(other-window 1)
(org-batch-agenda "OFFICE/NEXT")
)
Calling this function should create a fullscreen Emacs frame on my
second monitor vertically split into two windows. The upper window
should display the week-agenda (org-agenda-goto-today), the lower window
should contain a special-agenda-view showing all items with the
todo-keyword NEXT and the tag OFFICE.
Everything works as expected until it comes to the last line.
org-batch-agenda seems not to be the correct function to be called here.
The minibuffer says: "No catch for tag: exit, nil".
Can anybody help?
Thanks
Sven

This is the same bug as Martyn Jago reported earlier, basically I
forgot that separate org agenda commands can be run individually
rather then through (org-agenda) function.
A temporary workaround in your specific case would be to wrap
(org-batch-agenda) call like this:
(catch 'exit
(org-batch-agenda "OFFICE/NEXT"))
I tested it and it seems to work.. The actual fix for the bug will be
similar and will be wrapping bodies of (org-todo-list) (org-tags-list)
and friends with (catch 'exit), but it needs to be done conditionally
as to only do it its called individually and not from (org-agenda)

I see. Thank you for hinting me to a workaround.

Let me thank you for the sticky agenda as well. I can't say I'm using multiple
agendas in parallel -- while I'll surely make more use of it --, but the fact
that the agenda view comes almost instataneously is really great!

I tried the updated version of Sven:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-gtd-frame ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion)
(make-frame '(
(name . "gtd")
(active-alpha . 0.75)
(inactive-alpha . 0.8)
(top . 20)
(left . 20)
(width . 80)
(height . 40)))
(select-frame-by-name "gtd")
(org-agenda-goto-today)
(delete-other-windows)
(split-window-horizontally)
(other-window 1)
(catch 'exit
(org-batch-agenda "work")))
#+end_src
But I get the following error:

The call to (org-agenda-goto-today) is before it created the agenda, I
think it should be inside the catch, after the (org-batch-agenda) call.
