waybar-eyes's Issues

Can't open file: 'haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml' in read mode

Hi there!
I installed from aur. Something went wrong. Faces = 0, when me is on camera.

Looking at this log, seems file haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml is missing.

Anyways, i can see this file contents with cat on this path:

cat /usr/share/waybar-eyes/models/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml
