The problem persists that when there is a remote database with bad credentials / wrong port whatever, it freezes...

Make the test with db.sob.opengis.ch and you will see. Only if I first enter correct password / username, schema, db, port and then enter the url it works...

The same super long freeze is present in older MB versions when entering db.sob.opengis.ch, wrong port, and pressing the Next button. In each case when executed in a thread it should not block... I'll try to find out where it locks

Hm... Or when it takes that long maybe a shorter time out would be cool. Or don't we have it in our hands and it's a server thing?

I did not see that here configuration.db_ili_version = db_utils.db_ili_version(configuration) a request is sent to the db, and thus outside the thread. This is the reason why the gui is still blocking.

Still I think the timeout is very long and likely to hang in other places... I can still try to find out the exact hang location (I suppose some psycopg function) and see if there is the possibility to pass a timeout argument. In that case what would be a good value for it?

Why it checks ili2db version? 🤔

Its not necessary, I copy pasted too much code 😅
