How to specify to not save Pictures into log files for some actions

Hi all!

Is it possible to disable the picture saving for some logs, to reduce the log file size?

For example, I have a checkpoint for an image comparison (Picture Check method).

I'm interested to save the picture only if the comparison fails (so we can analyze the differences), but it is not necessary to save the image if the checkpoint is passed.

Moreover, in some cases, it could be not necessary to save the pictures for "Keyboard input" events or for "clicks". It could be specified, in some way, to not save pictures into the log file?

Thanks!

Hi Simona,

I see very little help of events and thus block them from been logged setting project's Properties | Project | Log -> Store Last xx Events setting to zero.

As for your other questions, I am not sure this is possible.

longtime test runs generate large logs with lots of Pictures. Less Color, less Resolution would not be a Problem. Events logging control Actions such as button click or window getting focus could be logged does allow you to configure the image settings for those entries going into the log files?)
