--text follows this line-- I use the org-agenda-tag-filter-preset in my custom agenda commands. This breaks, when there is a (:newline) inside a radiogroup in org-tag-alist. When calling the agenda command, it gives the error: "mapcar: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, :newline" and the agenda gets built without the filter-preset. The minimal configuration (via customize-interface) below, shows the state triggering the error. Remove the (:newline) from inside the radiogroup in org-tag-alist and the filter-preset works again. Please fix it, so the filter-presets can be used together with (:newline) in tag-radiogroups. Questions anytime..
