Wipe Tower on Prusa MINI+ (Single-Extruder)

Hi all,

I quite often use the "+" button on the vertical slider in PrusaSlicer when looking at a sliced file to add a pause/filament change to change colours manually.  This works so well.

But one thing it does not do well, is when it purges out the material after a colour change, I have to be right there with needle-nose plyers, to grab the purged filament, and constantly nip away at it as the nozzle moves back over to the model, since the head is oozing the purged filament.

It would be really nice if I could use a "Wipe Tower" (I think that's the term).  There's an option for this in PrusaSlicer, but when I enable it, nothing seems to change... it is as if it is disabled for single-extruder printers, even though this would be incredibly useful (I think) to purge and then stabalize the flow of material before going back to the model to add the first layer after a colour change.

Does that make sense?  Am I just missing a simple setting?

Thanks in advance - I am sorry, I tried to search for this to see if a thread already existed about it (and I am guessing it does) but I couldn't find anything.
