Description Damir Porobic 2016-04-02 08:23:40 UTC 
When last.fm plugin in amarok is enabled and the user plays songs the plugin creates a non hidden folder in the user directory. There seems to be no option in the plugin to hide it or provide an alternative location for the cache folder.

Reproducible: Always

I think this problem is caused by liblastfm library itself. What version do you have? Can you try with a newer version?
Comment 2 Damir Porobic 2016-04-02 13:14:58 UTC 
Yeah that could be right, I think I have the latest version:
liblastfm1                               | 1.0.8-3.1

Who's maintaining this library?

That is not the last release, according to https://github.com/lastfm/liblastfm/releases you should have 1.0.9, released 18 months ago.

You're right again, I've checked only the repository. After building and installing the 1.0.9 version and removing the 1.0.8 the Last.fm directory is not longer being created in the home directory and the scrobbling is also working. The 1.0.8 version was installed by Amarok and I had to break the dependency to remove it but it seems to be working now.

Thank you for the feedback. I strongly suggest you notify Opensuse about them shipping an outdated lastfm library
