Custom action to delete files with append only attribute

I would like to make a Thunar custom action that can remove files with the append only attribute.

I know I would need chattr -a and then a rm command.

You really need to ask that question on an XFCE forum, I would have thought.

I asked here because Thunar is in the UM repositories.

Well Thunar, along with pretty much all other Linux software, is available in all Linux repos. And I am not saying you can’t ask here. You may be lucky and there may be an expert on Thunar on here. I guess I am just suggesting that your probability of success may be higher if you ask on a forum where the majority of users are using Thunar

Thanks. I got the answer from a XFCE forum.

Glad to hear you got it sorted…
