Not really, because the sub trees have their own meta data, which is not touched when you use the top level tree. Only expect problems when you have both open at the same time. And I'm pretty sure this is the case, but could you please confirm: All real content data is stored in the .txt files, so that wiping the notebook.zim and the .zim folder won't actually cause me to lose anything important - not only content but internal cross-referencing, tagging etc? What about with plugins? notebook.zim contains some properties (like the home page etc.) but no real content, .zim is just a cache. So both can be deleted without loosing any content. You can re-build the cache on a given notebook with zim --index. This is done automatically as well, but for large data sets you might want to do this manually once after adding sub-trees etc. This command will read each page and build the index of tags, links, etc. and store it in .zim.

[Zim-wiki] overlapping zim folder trees?
I have a very complex folder hierarchy with thousands of files, mostly plaintext that I'd like to transition into a zim wiki. Rather than just pointing zim to the top of the tree and immediately having an overwhelming amount of kruft to deal with, I thought I'd start by creating smaller wikis further down to deal with a specific, currently active topic domain. I'd end up with a few of these, and over time as I get things organized, I thought it would be easy to wipe the smaller ones' zim-meta data and establish higher-level wikis that would incorporate branches previously covered by several smaller ones. However there may be times when I have a given sub-branch included in more than one zim wiki. I realize this can cause last-edit-wins race issues, but other than that, would this cause any problems with Zim itself? And I'm pretty sure this is the case, but could you please confirm: All real content data is stored in the .txt files, so that wiping the notebook.zim and the .zim folder won't actually cause me to lose anything important - not only content but internal cross-referencing, tagging etc?
