Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 9575] "-T fields -e <field>" does only work for some field

Comment # 5 on bug 9575 from
I'd see it as a bug because a command line option ("-e frame.file_off") simply
isn't honored unless another one ("-o frame.show_file_off=true") is given, too.

If one never uses the GUI (and says to save the preferences), there won't be
any hint in ~/.wireshark/ either; and the manual page doesn't have
documentation about the fields and the needed option settings (and doesn't want
to, and shouldn't, IMO).


For me it's just a violation of do-what-I-say -- if the commandline lists a
field, any dependencies should just get fulfilled.
