qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent v4.3.0alpha1 Web UI (64-bit)
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

libtorrent-rasterbar and Qt version

libtorrent-rasterbar10/focal,now 1.2.6+git20200425.a9968916ca-1ppa1~20.04 amd64
Qt version 5.12.8

Issue

When passing a parameter to a python script via "Run external program on torrent completion" the script doesn´t execute.

Tried solutions

Passing parameter as "%N" instead of %N
Restarting qBit
Reinstalling qBit
Restarting Ubuntu

Steps to reproduce

Execute following command at complete "/path/complete_script.py %N > /path/logs"

complete_script.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys, subprocess

parameters = sys.argv
name = parameters[1]

print("The name of the torrent is " + name)

subprocess.run(["touch", "IHaveExecuted"])

Expected outcome

The file "logs" contains following text: The name of the torrent is {name} and a file named IHaveExecuted has been created.
