The "Preloader operations" sub-menu gives access to operations involving preloaders. There you can rather easily experiment with theme preloading and applying a preloaded theme and understand the general philosophy about them.

The sub-menu itself contains the three usual buttons allowing you to go back to the main menu, get some help and select a theme.

T-O-M info and Reset T-O-M

These two buttons T-O-M info and RESET TOM, also available on the main menu, respectively request status information from the Theme-O-Matic (T-O-M Core) and asks it to reset itself (message #77027). This may be necessary if you recently added or removed preloaders so that the core scripts assigns them a new id.

Several specific buttons exist inside this sub-menu, described below.

Select preloader

As a Theme-O-Matic setup can contain potentially a high number of preloader copies, you of course need to select one of them to send further commands. You can do so by clicking the Sel. preloader button to bring the corresponding sub-menu.

If for some reason the Theme Toolbox or the Theme-O-Matic itself is not aware of the right number of preloaders, just use the T-O-M info or RESET T-O-M button to force an update, as described above.
