What determines which files are reference and which files are duplicates is first their folder state. A file from a reference folder will always be reference in a duplicate group. If all files are from a normal folder, the size determine which file will be the reference of a duplicate group. dupeGuru assumes that you always want to keep the biggest file, so the biggest files will take the reference position.
You can change the reference file of a group manually. To do so, select the duplicate file you want to promote to reference, and click on **Actions-->Make Selected Reference**.

The Dupes Only mode unveil its true power when you use it with the Delta Values switch turned on. When you turn it on, relative values will be displayed instead of absolute ones. So if, for example, you want to remove from your results all duplicates that are more than 300 KB away from their reference, you could sort the dupes only results by Size, select all duplicates under -300 in the Size column, delete them, and then do the same for duplicates over 300 at the bottom of the list.
You could also use it to change the reference priority of your duplicate list. When you make a fresh scan, if there are no reference folders, the reference file of every group is the biggest file. If you want to change that, for example, to the latest modification time, you can sort the dupes only results by modification time in **descending** order, select all duplicates with a modification time delta value higher than 0 and click on **Make Selected Reference**. The reason why you must make the sort order descending is because if 2 files among the same duplicate group are selected when you click on **Make Selected Reference**, only the first of the list will be made reference, the other will be ignored. And since you want the last modified file to be reference, having the sort order descending assures you that the first item of the list will be the last modified.
