Sorry for your lost, but Gambas IDE does display a big error message in 
a balloon if a file cannot be saved.

Which version of Gambas do yo use? Did you compile it yourself?

I use the Gambas IDE for my job all the days for years, and I have never 
lost anything yet.

The only possible code path that can prevent a source code file to be 
saved is if the code editor is read-only. But then you could not have 
modified its contents, so it is strange!

Maybe you were unlucky and triggered a bug that noone has encountered 
yet. Sorry for that again.

Regards,
