How can i setup appimages to run direclty from the superfile ? i'm new to the program and saw nothing about it on the guide ( or maybe i just missed)

Do you mean how to run AppImage files from inside superfile, or how to run superfile itself as an AppImage?

How to run app image files from inside, when I double click the appimage it tries to open thought firefox

When opening a file in superfile, it uses xdg-open to select what program to open it with but an appimage is an executable file that needs to be run independently, instead of opening it with another program. Because xdg-open does not know what to open it with, it is defaulting to firefox.

Superfile does not currently (as of v1.5.0) have support for executing a file directly so it must instead be run another way. Possibly with superfile in shell mode (default key is :), though it is rather limited so it is probably better to just run the appimage directly in the terminal by simply typing in the file path.
