--
If a field is requested that depends on a preference, that the preference is
set to whichever value would allow that field to be displayed.


Currently, per default
   tshark -r <filename> -Tfields -e frame.file_off
only returns an empty output.

Yeah, there's "-o frame.show_file_off:true", but one would have to know about
the specific option that's needed for the wanted field(s).


Please just change the preference implicitly, if it's needed to make a field
output work.
