org-agenda-custom commands extra blank line

[measpear]

When using the org-super-agenda with org-agenda-custom commands extra blank line occurs before the org-super-agenda :name property (due to overriding header variable ?).
Is is possible to prevent this ?

For example, using the following code snippet, extra blank line occurs before Projects heading.
(let ((org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("u" "Super view"
((agenda "" ((org-super-agenda-groups
'((:name "Today"
:time-grid t)))))
(todo "" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "")
(org-super-agenda-groups
'((:name "Projects"
:children todo)
(:discard (:anything t)))))))))))
(org-agenda nil "u"))

Hi,

What you're seeing is an empty org-agenda-overriding-header. It's not possible to control that from this package. If you set it to an empty string, Org will insert a blank line. If you set it to nil, it will insert a predefined header.

It was fairly simple, so I made a patch for this and submitted it to the org-mode mailing list. I think they will probably accept it, but we'll see.

Hi,
Thanks for the patch. What i had in my mind is to use org-super-agenda without name property. This way by setting overriding-header as "Projects" i think that i can prevent blank line in org-super-agenda custom-commands use cases.

But your solution is better this way.

Oh, well, I think we can do that too. I'll look into it. Thanks.

I think that should do it. :)
