So long as the path were configurable (to prevent long startup delays
and access to places that I would rather Zim not access) then this
sounds like a great idea. It would ensure data integrity as the ascii
file really is duplication of data.

Nice idea. How many people use Zim this way? Maybe we need an informal survey?

Yes, please!

It is important that this be configurable, most certainly.
