[Save (& run)]

Save widget contents for both marlowe input data (usually having .dat extension) file and .json format. The .json file can be loaded by [load .json] button.

[Load .json]

Currently, mui.py cannot load marlowe data format yet, but allows to load data file in JSON format created by above [Save (& run)] command.

Note

Validation does not run automatically. The user should push [Validate] button explicitly to confirm the modification on GUI is correct or not.
