            Bug ID: 113699
           Summary: UI: "Registered databases" window is hard to reach
                    when doing mail merge
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

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.
