Hi Mark

Thank you for the correction on my understanding of how the default Del works
for duplicates. I would suggest the behavior as it is implemented is probably a
logical bug. There is a mechanism for defining the reference image during the
filtering. That is, this is not arbitrary, and I think it would be reasonable
to expect that the system would not default to deletion of the reference image.
Of course, it may be that the user wishes to delete the reference image, but
that could just be intervention in the form of a manual selection of which
duplicate(s) to delete for that list entry.

Its not sarcasm when I ask- what is the purpose of defining a reference image
in a function like this if the reference image isnt intended to be special in
some way?  That is, if there are filters to define Reference as 'prefer newer
date' or 'larger image' or 'newest modified', the implication is that the user
considers those to be primary against which other instances are assumed to be
duplicates. 

In my view, it would be best to simply always place the reference image at
position 1 in the summary view, and have the focus for 'delete' on the first
non-reference image. In a scenario where someone runs a Similarity check
against 1 or more albums, it is possible to simply hit the 'remove duplicates'
button as a batch process,  and it isnt at all clear from that: if duplicates
arent defined as non-reference, then this is doing something that isnt implied
(at least, not to me). 

Best
Rob
