Note that ..\docrootPath also works just fine if you want to keep a
dirstruc like this:

Parent folder (by topic)
  -  docroot (all file attachments)
  -  zimdata (text-only files)

This allows for easier management of your .svn (or equivalent for whatever
source control you're using) as well as selective encryption and/or
sync'ing via Dropbox or whatever of only the textual stuff if you've got a
lot of file attachments and only need to access the text in certain
locations or situations (e.g. carrying your knowledgebase on a USB drive
with Zim in "portable" mode.
