Thanks, I did not know that was a freedesktop convention. I still
prefer ~/.app-name as I like to finetune my backups, but it really is
not a big deal. I will now know to look in there for when I need to
find other apps' config files. Thanks!

That _is_ how I have it:
~/.zim/home
~/.zim/work
~/.zim/studies

However, Zim was seeing ~/.zim as the address for a single Notes
notebook, and therefore home, work, and studies were appearing as
directories in the Notes notebook.

That's where it is?!? Actually, I think that I once knew that, but the
information is in Zim itself!
  


This is the freedesktop.org sanctioned place to put config files (a.k.a. 
XDG_CONFIG_HOME). You will see increasingly more applications from both 
the Gnome / XFCE and the KDE school of thought put their config there 
insteadd of directly clobbering the home dir.

How about using a different directory for each notebook?

~/work/zim
+ Home/Documents
+ Home/Notes
+ Work/Documents
+ Work/Notes
+ Studies/Documents
+ Studies/Notes

>From my experience with zim, you can have your documents and notes in
whatever directory you want, you have the opportunity to specify this
when you create a new notebook. I have moved some of my notebooks
after they were created with plain command line mkdir and mv, and
after editing the locations in the File->Properties zim found my data
again.

No, I don't need that. My issue is that Zim is treating all my
notebooks as directories in one large notebook.

You can edit that in the notebook list dialog (zim --list) or directly 
by changing ~/.config/zim/notebooks.list .


Currently there is no "notebook directory" that automatically sees all 
sub-diectories as notebooks. Would be a nice feature though and I 
believe there is a bug report requesting that.
