The feature was, unfortunately, poorly designed. It only accepts the
G_INT64_FORMAT string for your platform. That means the format is
extremely brittle to changes in OS and CPU! On Windows you need to use
%I64d, and on Linux you need to use %lld or %ld depending on whether
you're on a 32- or 64-bit system.
That *should* get it to work for you, but I've never tried it myself so I
cannot guarantee that will work.
I don't know if it will accept something like %6.6ld.
