Great that this was so simple to resolve.

Do I understand this correctly? You tried to load the old file
previously created on the same platform and now you cannot load them on
the Letux, but they still work on other platforms. Or is this broken on
all platforms. And how about the exchange between different platforms.
Did this use to work and is it now working?
What is your on disk format? In which class may I find it? Sorry, but
with the separate RSSKit this project is a bit confusing to me. Does the
on disk format contain binary data like int or float and how are they
written/read?
