RIDE soon to migrate to another web domain, announced in the new version of the application, while this web domain silently ceases to function! Please update your bookmarks/links once the new version of RIDE is out!
Applies to: RIDE 1.4 and later
You see the unchanged state of a floppy because you did not command to save the changes. Mind that all but formatting activity is first buffered by the application and stored to the floppy only upon an explicit request, Disk → Save. Changes that are only buffered but not stored will be lost once the access to the floppy is closed (before disposing the changes, you will be asked to save them, as you would with a usual image).
