Using Aurora - bookmarks backup files (json) include the word 'undefined' ??

At some point the automatic backup files began to include the word 'undefined' in the filename -- anybody know why??

Example:

bookmarks-2013-09-03_undefined.json


Manually-created backups are named in the normal format, e.g. "bookmarks-2013-09-03.json"

Not sure what that _undefined is exactly, but the Aurora bookmark backup files are named different than Beta and current release versions are named. As near as I can tell the change came near or with the 08-22 Aurora update; one of my Aurora Profiles has _1411 and the other has _7 in the file name since 08-22 where yours says _undefined. My guess is that change is some sort of identifier for the Profile which generated the backup file.

That looks like a bookmarks count that is added to the file name.

Hmmm, I reset my profile recently so maybe Aurora's lost my bookmark count - thus the 'undefined'.

I'm gonna export, delete, and import my bookmarks to see if that let's it recreate the proper count.
