How to stop it from slicing after every parameter change

After changing a single parameter, like layer height, slicing starts automatically and I have to wait minutes before it's done so I can change another parameter. How to stop it from doing this so that I can change all the parameters first, and then tell it to slice?

In File --> Preferences, there's a checkbox for Background Processing. Uncheck it.

Ok that worked good.

Now, the Preview and Layers tabs are of course blank. How do you tell it to slice (without using the Export G-Code button) so that you can use these tabs?

You would hope there would be something more elegant, but I'm not seeing anything other than turning background processing back on and making some kind of change (dragging the part elsewhere on the plate works, even if auto-center is on and it goes back where it was).
