When using the Mail Merge Wizard in the Select Address List window (3rd step of the wizard) it is easy to register a new data source. However it is a bit more difficult to remove a formerly used and no longer required data source. In this window one might realize that she apparently has such data sources, and wants to remove them. Options to do this: - Either go to Tools - Options - LibreOffice Base - Databases - Or open View - Data Sources, right click on the database name in the explorer view and select Registered databases It would be a lot more convenient if there would be a button in the Select Address List Window to show the Registered databases window, or on the Mail Merge toolbar, for example - but I'm unsure where would this fit best. Any UX advice on this? Implementing this would be probably easy as there is the .uno:DSBAdministrate command to show this window.

See also my comments at bug 126431 (button wall) and bug 126433 (confirmation). Both topics are on the agenda for the design meeting and maybe I'm wrong with the 'confirmation interrupts the workflow' argument since removing entries is not expected to be frequently done.

I stole the confirmation idea (and code) from the Options - LO Base - Databases tab. Sure the connection can be recreated to files, but here it is also possible to create a local address list with the Create button, which would be more work intensive to recreate.
