Re: [PD] makefilename multiple substitutions
OK, got it. It's not shaving off one % per depth, it actually removing every other % on each iteration, so the # of escaping symbols (%) grows exponentially. Maybe should lower my screen resolution to see the number of %% symbols more clearly.

Re: [PD] makefilename multiple substitutions
You have to escape *each* "%" with a leading "%", so your format string should be "02d:%%02d:%02d" The help patch actually shows this: "" becomes "%%" and so on Maybe the wording is not clear enough, though?
