In  ~/.vifm/vifmarc2.0 , I have

  # The file type is for the default programs to be used with
  # a file extension.
  # FILETYPE=description=extension1,extension2=defaultprogram, program2
  # FILETYPE=Web=html,htm,shtml=links,mozilla,elvis
  # would set links as the default program for .html .htm .shtml files
  # The other pgms for the file type can be accessed with the :file command
  # The command macros %f, %F, %d, %F may be used in the commands.
  # The %a macro is ignored.  To use a % you must put %%.

  FILETYPE=Web=html,htm=lynx,dillo
  FILETYPE=Object=o=nm %f | less
  FILETYPE=Image=jpg,jpeg,png,gif=feh
  FILETYPE=Archive=tar.gz,tgz=tar -tzf %f | less,tar -zxvf %f

so it opens images with my favorite 'feh' (also worth looking into).
