No way to create multiple connections #259

The "Connect dialog" supports exactly one connection. If you need different connections to different databases or to the same database but with different users, Umongo cannot do it. There is no way to create new connection. If you want to connect to another DB, you have to change the existing connection. The new connection will work, but the old one is gone. As a workaround you have to keep separate copy of Umongo for EACH connection (for each combination of database + user).

you should be able to do so. If you edit a connection and change its name, it becomes its own copy. Not the most intuitive I know...

OK. The problem was only with the default connection. It was renamed, new one was NOT created. But if I now rename it once again, then the 2nd is created, etc. Double rename is needed. Not trivial :) Why not just add a "Clone" button?
