Thx @lxp - if I may address the color issue first -
I do see my light green configuration there Thanks!, but when I go Prefs > Display > Fields,
I don't see any entry for the EFS column or ColumnEverythingFolderSize or any other descriptor -
maybe I need to log off to fold in changes?
Also - I just rebooted again and noted the red exclamation SCRIPT error icon in dOpus status bar -
here is the output >

I'll ask again b/c I'm unsure - do I need to make a button w/ script and run it so that dOpus internally stores the script in some way that's not happening for me at present?
I'm also thinking to post on voidtools forum and ask Mr. Carpenter if he might help.
The Opus side looks fine. We are getting the error while asking es.exe to send us the size info. Something's wrong with Everything or the OS. Unfortunately, I am running out of ideas about where to look.... Re-install Everything? Clean the /temp? Run Windows-Update? If you ask in the Voidtools forum, include the error number.
Thank you sir - I may try that later tonite - I've had a response from NotNull on void forum,
and I'm awaiting his next reply to my execution of his instructions.
It'll be handy to have that portable info -
yesterday I thought I'd have better chances for success if I went the regular install route.
Incredulous - I go back to look in the "C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a" folder,
and suddenly I notice es.exe shows a Size of -0- ! How the heck did THAT happen?
Regardless, I copied over the downloaded es.exe to replace it, and F5 and BANG it works again! PTL!
Now there's a slight different problem - a better one I think - -
Now when I run the 2 commands, here's the output :
C:\Program Files\Everything 1.5a>es.exe -instance 1.5a everything ext:exe Error 8: Everything IPC window not found. Please make sure Everything is running.
@lxp Why do we need to place es.exe with Everything.exe? Is there a way to place it a separate directory that other computers can reference? I am trying to keep DOPUS related goodies in a common place, so that I only need to update them once. That way, I can export configurations and know that paths will all point to the same place.
I went into Folder Options and set the EFS column as Default while discarding < Size (auto) > ,
and if I simply click a folder to go deeper in the dir structure, then EFS continues to give Folder sizes.
However, if I use a middle mouse click to open a folder in a New Tab,
I have to F5 to make it show in this deeper directory opened in a New Tab.
I also implemented the "also display the size for files" substitute script that was so kindly provided -
and it works fine. Interestingly - though folder sizes don't immediately display
when, as described above, a mouse click is used to open it in a New Tab -
file sizes DO display immediately.
So, at the risk of greedy - is there a way to get folder sizes to also auto-populate
even if a directory is opened in a New Tab?
I guess so es.exe knows to which Everything.exe it is supposed to talk. This is just how Voidtools has designed it.

You could try placing a link to a central es.exe into the folder (Copy MAKELINK). Not sure if this works.

Try a portable installation, they seem to run just fine. It could even live inside the Opus folders, so it's included in config backups and USB exports. The Everything.db will become big, though, so that might be impractical.
Interesting, something I never noticed. Maybe I should get a three-button mouse one of these days
I added a few things to the script to cover this scenario. You can be the guinea pig and try it out. I'd be interested if you run into any performance issues like delayed tab openings.
