Dear Chuck, I indeed experienced the same issue, and a contributor named Jouhaka made a patch to allow overwriting disk changes by clicking a button (or to do an automatic 3 way merge). I use this patch since a year now, it's working perfectly fine. It's for Zim v0.67. You can find it here: https://github.com/zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki/pull/178
