Hello guys,
I'm quite impressed about Vifm file manager. But what I still didn't find out is how I can specify default apps for filetypes I'd like to open with vifm. For example I'd like to open images with feh and not with Vi(m) itself as it is preconfigured.
How can I change that behaviour?
Thank you.

Hello mikesd,
that's what I was looking for. Thank you.
One last question. Vifm now opens an image with feh, but I'm not able to switch to another picture that is in the same directory unless I close feh first and open another picture with it. When I start feh manually without vifm that works. How could I implement such a slideshow feature?

I'm guessing that you are running feh as feh . or feh *.jpg to get that functionality. Check the section in the config file above the FILETYPE section. A line like:
COMMAND=feh=feh *.{jpg,jpeg,png}
allows you to type :feh in vifm to view images in the current directory.

Nice! So glad I read this.

Also if I use the FILETYPE to associate files, i have to use the "L" key to open a file, can i make it so <Enter> uses the open command (i.e. what <l> does now in vifm). Enter in mine just runs vim %f.

Not sure what's wrong with yours. My enter and l do the same thing.
Maybe try a fresh config file.

Hello again,
the following line isn't working anymore here on my system. I didn't change anything but I can't slide through the images with feh as it was before.
COMMAND=feh=feh *.{JPG,jpg,jpeg,png}
Do you have the same problem?
