I am trying to set a custom command to show my work tasks and critical home
tasks for the day.
I have tried the following.
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(
("W" "Work Schedule"
(
(agenda ""
(
(org-agenda-filter-preset '("@Work|critical")) ;; this doesn't work
(org-agenda-ndays 1)
)
)
(tags-todo "@Work|critical")
)
)
)
It seems just to ignore the filter. The tags-todo line works fine.
I tried various filters to verify my syntax.
using (org-agenda-filter-preset '("+@Work")) works fine but is not what I want.
using (org-agenda-filter-preset '("@Work" "|" "critical")) also doesn't work.
As a side note when I print the agenda it seems to ignore the filter I set with
[/][-][tab]tag. The printed version has the items not shown on screen.
using GNU Emacs 23.2.1 - ORG 7.4
Thank-you

There are some errors in your `org-agenda-filter-preset': 1. You should not quote this list, because the entire structure of `org-agenda-custom-commands' is already quoted. 2. Format of `org-agenda-filter-preset' (C-h v org-agenda-filter-preset RET): ,---- | A preset of the tags filter used for secondary agenda filtering. | This must be a list of strings, each string must be a single tag preceded | by "+" or "-". `---- So ("@work" "|" "critical") is wrong format. 3. The preset filter ANDs the tags together and as far as I am aware of (our could think of) it is not possible to OR tags together. However, I wonder why you would like to set the preset-filter: The tags-todo query already selects only tasks that are either tagged @work or critical?

It turns out that most of this did not matter. I was mostly concerned with this for export and use with Mobile Org. For these it seems to process all the custom commands together. This seems to act like a block agenda which does not support filtering of individual blocks. I could get one custom command to export or push to mobile org correctly but with more then one the filters were ignored. I ended up having to write some custom functions to process the commands one at a time to temporary files and then combine the files. The or'ing of tags not being supported is still an issue but I changed my usage to get around that. Thanks for the tip on "C-h v org-agenda-filter-preset RET" to get information on a variable. There is just so much to learn.

In fact, there are other variables that have quoted lists as their setting, such as org-agenda-entry-types. > 2.

It did not completely work for me because the @Work tag was inherited. However I think I can change my process a little to make it work.

Yes. The way the variable settings are used when constructing the agenda views is actually causing evaluation of the values. So the quote is good here. - Carsten > >> 2.
