Goal: To make an agenda view custom command that will filter a daily/weekly
view by category.
I tried to use the documented `org-agenda-category-filter-preset', similar
to functionality of the analogous tag variable,
`org-agenda-tag-filter-preset'. It does not seem to work. However, a word
search in the `org-agenda.el' file uncovered an undocumented variable
`org-agenda-category-filter', which seemed to do the job for me.
(That is, `C-h v' on the latter leads to "Not documented as a variable.")
Am I using the right variable for the job? I do not really understand the
"preset" nomenclature. Does this mean it should only be used on the global
block, as opposed to say inside of `(agenda "" ...)'?
Here are some minimal examples I used to work out where my issue was:
____
/
(setq
org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("r"
"the real test" (
(agenda "")
(todo "")
;; +CATEGORY=\"acat\"
)(
(org-agenda-files
'("/e/emacs-config/therealagendatest.org"))
;; (org-agenda-filter-preset '("+acat"))
(org-agenda-category-filter '("+acat"))
))))
\____
/
* TODO an appt
<2014-04-15 Tue>
* TODO a test todo :acat:
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: acat
:END:

Using
(org-agenda-category-filter-preset '("+mycategory"))
within your custom agenda command should work.
There was a related bug, fixed now. If you can test from
the maint branch, thanks in advance!
