hi list,

The helpfile for makefilename has a subpatch "multiple substitutions" in which it says:

You can connect two or more objects for multiple substitutions. For that, you need to use a literal '%' to set the format string of another makefilename object. LITERAL %: You can format a string with a literal '%' if you escape it with another '%' (where "%%" becomes "%", "%%%%" becomes "%%" and so on)

however, just a depth of two substitutions is in the example. I extended this to three and got the error:

makefilename: invalid format string '%%%02d:%%02d:%02d' (too many format specifiers)

(Yes you guessed right, trying to generate SMPTE from milliseconds)

M.
