Misunderstanding.
Nothing has changed for d'n'd. If the check mark is switched for write protection, the floppy disk is now hidden and quickly inserted out and put back in. (*)
In the previous versions, only write protection was toggled. That would be like trying to do this with the open Amiga without first removing the floppy disk.

(*) because User has no option to do the following: remove disk, toggle write protection, insert disk. By switching the write protection, the floppy disk is now hidden and quickly put back in.

At the moment, you can remove the floppy disk yourself and then change the write protection. This should be greyed out as it is confusing. Because the next time you insert it, this will be ignored and a ZIP, for example, will be inserted read-only and an ADF will not.

EDIT: You can also remove the write protection of a ZIP after insertion. From the Amiga's point of view, the floppy disk is writable. In this case, the changes cannot be written permanently to the disc and are only permanently available via game saves. The option "confirm writes" does not create a dialog for ZIP when removing a written disk, because it is not possible to write to the ZIP anyway. In principle, this is possible, but very time-consuming and there is a risk of destroying the ZIP. In the case of an ADF, there is a dialog where you can ask if the changes should be written permanently.

If this option "confirm writes" is not enabled and it is not a ZIP or IPF, all changes will be written automatically when the disc is removed. But I wouldn't recommend that, because sometimes you don't even notice what has been written and may not want to. With this option activated, it is not a bad thing to remove the write protection from the disk, as the user has to confirm permanent changes anyway.
