How to prevent OpenScad to render after startup

On my MAC, I have to hit f5 to render the draft object. It does not render after loading a piece of code.
Recently I installed OpenScad on W10

When I load a design, it starts to render the draft by default immediately
I do not want this, because my current design takes very long to render (hours) So I want to code first....

Can I configure not to render at start ?

Thnks

... I have to hit f5 to render the draft object...

In my version of OpenScad, F5 is not for rendering, but for previewing the object - for rendering it's F6.
And in the "Design" menu there is an option to enable/disable the automatic preview...

Correct,
I mean the preview.

Thanks, I will try to disable this .

Enif, thanks. it works

My current design needs over 6 hours to preview, so it was a burden to start OpenSCAD before I could start to work ....

(Yes I know, Minkowski's are consuming, but sometimes I need them viewed.)
