Hi Bastien,

Here is my custom agenda section. I'd like to have the DEADLINE and the REFILE only show up if items exist in those sections, not when they are empty. Actually, I guess I'd like this for all sections.

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands

      '(("c" "My Custom Agenda"

         (

  (tags "REFILE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "REFILE")))

 (tags-todo "+DEADLINE<=\"<+3d>\"" 

    (

     (org-agenda-overriding-header "Deadline <= 3 Days")

     ))

 (tags-todo "+SCHEDULED<\"<tomorrow>\"" 

    (

     (org-agenda-overriding-header "Scheduled Today")

     ))

          (todo "INPROGRESS" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "In Progress")))

          (todo "WAITING|VERIFY" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Waiting or Verify")))

 (agenda "" (

     (org-agenda-overriding-header "Scheduled")

     (org-deadline-warning-days 0)

     ))

          (todo "SOMEDAY" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Someday")))

 (tags "REFILE" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "REFILE")))   

 ) nil ("org.txt" "org.html" "org.ics"))))

So you are using agenda blocks, right?

Please post the skeleton of your custom agendas so that we can better
understand.

Thanks,
