  Maximum time to wait before a connection is aborted.

To set an alternative online service:

• URL location to display geometry point: [http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=%LAT%&mlon=%LON%]

  Replace the default value with an alternative URL. For example, to use Google Maps rather than OpenStreetMap, enter https://www.google.com/maps/?q=%LAT%,%LON%.

Others

• Allow more than one instance of MySQL Workbench to run

  By default, only one instance of MySQL Workbench can be running at the same time. This setting is available only on Windows.

  Note

  All MySQL Workbench instances share the same files and settings, so enable at your own risk.

Logs

• Log Level: [ info ]

  Determines how serious a message has to before it gets logged. For example, an error is more serious than a warning, a warning is more serious than an informational message, and so on. From lowest to highest, the levels are: none, error, warning, info, debug1, debug2, and debug3. Defaults to the info level.
