[SOLVED] Cantata won't work

Hi!

Whenever i start cantata (qt5 community build, version 1.4.0-1), i get an error :

errno: Failed to open database file "/tmp/cantata/mpd/tag_cache": No such file or directory
fatal_error: Couldn't stat parent directory of db file "/tmp/cantata/mpd/tag_cache": No such file or directory

It started only the very first timewithout problems, and i could listen to any song. But then, after a reboot, it didn't work anymore. The only way to get it working again is by touching that tag_cache file in /tmp/cantata/mpd/ (making the mpd dir first, as it doesn't exist in /tmp/cantata).
What can I do? I'm using cantata in single user mode (ie it starts mpd for me).

Thanks!

Solved...damn! I just had to edit .local/share/cantata/mpd/mpd.conf changing the paths /tmp/cantata/mpd/* to .config/cantata/mpd/* and touching those files.
