If you updated your ArticleDatabase class in de.cinek.rssview.io package 
and renamed the rssviewdb files to .rssviewdb everything should work 
fine. This Exception occurs just if the hierarchie of the TreeNodes does 
not match the Channels in the Database. This Exception will never ever 
occur under normal circumstances (no renaming, deleting). If the 
Exception gets thrown even after renaming and update the only solution I 
have is to delete ALL settingsfiles of rssview. I consider implementing 
a "health check" to make the datamodel more stable so that this 
exception will not occur anymore.
