Cura 4.5. How to turn OFF automatic slicing?

[EvilGrym 0]

When I open model Cura starts to slice it Before I placed all model parts on the table.

Do Cura can slice on demand? By pressing some button, for example.

Go to the General pane of the Preferences. It is one of the top-most options.

 

Personally I find the autoslicing mostly useful, but sometimes I find it annoying. That's why I made a plugin to quickly toggle the option. That plugin is available as "Automatic Slicing Toggle" in the Cura Marketplace. It adds a "pause/resume" toggle next to the "Slice"/"Save" button.
