Hi Andreas,

What helped me was what I wrote below (deleting a file in zim shown as existing in zim even though it was not in that place in the file system anymore).

b) didn't work. I tried many times before and after many complete restarts of zim. Next time, I would try your a).

Thank you - I enjoy zim a lot :)

It turned out that after I had moved one of those pages and its folder out of the zim folder, the page was still shown in zim (and not virtual / italic), but I could not find it in the actual folder on my computer in the shell. I deleted that "strange" real-in-zim but not-existing-in-shell page from within zim, moved the actually existing counterpart back into the zim folder by shell, and the index was behaving again.
