It's done with JavaBeans XMLSerializer and not the old-fashioned 
serialization methods. It tries to create beans set all attributes via 
set and returns the bean object to you - it's very stable even if you 
remove or add fields. Properties that are stored in the file and are not 
present in the Bean any more are ignored (an Exception is thrown) and 
all further attributes are read - very handy mechanism...

I've currently about 1500 articles in my db and it needs 190kb disk 
space :) The control would be useful - you're right - I don't have 
really much time in the moment.
