Made a good bit of changes to my code, while compiling to sort through any logical, syntax or other errors, I realized eventually, without me closing/saving, opening anything, my code had reverted back to the original before I had changed stuff.

What caused this?

I hadn't closed the IDE or anything. I had to go back again and do over all my changes.

Are you sure you didn't open multiple IDE instances and close the one you made the changes in? When you have multiple IDE instances open, changes in one IDE instances don't update for the same files in another IDE instance. In this situation the saved files were probably up-to-date with your changes, but would have been overwritten when you re-saved.

The default IDE really needs an option to only open shell executed bmx files in a currently open IDE instance (assuming one is open), rather than creating a new instance when you double click a bmx file.

Are you running it from a directory you have permission to run it from? Have you checked your virtual store?

hey there.

I realized there was multiple instances opened.

Only noticed it when it happened again and I checked for that! :)
