[Jaap Karssenberg <jaap.karssenberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have an update pending in the current development code that will only
show the full path for the toplevel notes, but not for child notes. This is
how I intended it, but unfortunately did not implement correctly in the
current release.

If you are on Ubuntu you can try the latest snapshot version
https://launchpad.net/~jaap.karssenberg/+archive/ubuntu/zim-snapshots to
see the updated behavior. Hope that works better for you.

Regards,

Jaap
