@Alessandro
as you already noticed zim places subpages in subdirectories in the form
of:
page_name.txt
page_name/subpage.txt
page_name/subpage/subsubpage.txt
other_page.txt
[...]

I prefer this form: 
page_name/README.txt
page_name/somefile.pdf
page_name/subpage/README.txt
page_name/subpage/someotherfiles.pdf
page_name/subpage/somesourcefile.tex
page_name/subpage/subsubpage/README.txt
other_page/README.txt  
[...]
for working on an existing tree.


@Japp:
I tried to create my own zim/stores/filesindirs.py with a configurable
file name, but it looks like there is no way to tell zim to use the new
storage?
