This works in 18.04 but not in 20.04?

echo password | sudo -S  chattr +i %f

Neither does this.

pkexec chattr +i %f

It works here. Does your password have any special characters? If so, enclose your password in single quotes:

echo 'password' | sudo -S  chattr +i %f

You can also look at ~/.xsession-errors when running the custom action to see if any error messages are generated.

Re: Immutable attrib

Thanks.

The single quotes got it to working. :-)
