so you can hook the [makefilename %02d] directly to [date]/[time].

i'm a bit confused what exactly you mean here.

i'd suggest to use the "standard" ascii-rendering of Pd's graphical
elements:
[foo] <-- object-box with "foo"
[bar( <-- message-box with "bar"
[...\ <-- number/symbol-box
|     <-- connection line


so your patch should look something like:

[$1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14(
|
[add $1(
|
[textfile]

this basically does not work, because the first message-box (with all
those dollars), will create a message with a _selector_
"19780729093021" and no atoms.
now "$1" in [add $1( will get replaced by the 1st atom of the incoming
message. since your message does not have any atoms, it will be
replaced by "0" (and you should get an error on the Pd-console)

the proper way to fix this, is by providing an explicit selector, e.g.
[symbol $1$2$3$4$5$6$7$8$9$10$11$12$13$14(
(which will create a message with the selector "symbol" and one atom
"19780729093021")
