Find similar files

I use "Find similar files" tool to search for pics that have different names, but are equal.
But when the XnView shows me the 2 pics that are the same, only one of the pics are selectable to delete.
Why?
Why can't I choose the picture that I want to delete?

Thanks for XnView.
Best regards,
Luis Carlos Bilhar

You can delete the reference or the others files

With the popup menu

How comes that in my popup menu the only choice is to delete both?

[Delete reference+selected file]

Apart from that the whole dialog box does not tell me what the reference is. The left pic? Or the right one?

I complained about this before and I gladly repeat it here. The intuitve way is to let the user select the left or the right pic and then hit del. That simple.
