      saves the data with the specified saver

      public void setInstancesFromFileQ()
      Queries the user for a file to load instances from, then loads the instances in a background process. This is done in the IO thread, and an error message is popped up if the IO thread is busy.
    • setInstancesFromDBQ

      public void setInstancesFromDBQ(String url, String user, String pw, String query)
