Log File double size in TC 8, why?

I send a log file (*.mht ) via email after I finish running each test.  These files doubled in size once I upgraded to TC 8. I don't see any difference in the content of the log that would result in the large increase.  



Is there a way to cut this back down to size?

I don't want to zip the file, I didn't have to do that with TC 7.



Thanks

    Hi,



    This can happen because you have Test Visualizer enabled. It captures images of user actions during the test recording and playback. As a result, the size of your logs becomes much bigger. See the "Test Visualizer" help topic.



    If you do not need the Test Visualizer functionality, you can disable it from the Visualizer panel of your project properties. See the "Project Properties - Visualizer Options" help topic.

    That didn't help any. Also the files are now really really slow to open compared to TC7.

    Hi Ted,


    Disabling the Test Visualizer does not remove the created screenshots. You need to do this manually by removing all the images from the Log folder of your project.
