Yep , i followed the same instructions. with no success.  , pretty sure a
bug , i put on the bug tracker. I could't figure out the problem.
debugging the source i think the $hPrivate items are not updated, i put a
breakpoint where checks to add the $hPrivate contents but is seemed to only
do the check before i had set the items.

when it opens the Private bookmarks collection is present in the object but
the list hasn't added them.

hmm yeah i guess that's a bug in the wiki.
the filechooser/bookmarks page is a link to the dirview/bookmarks page.

--> ../../dirchooser/bookmarks

The page looks for
https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.form/filechooser/bookmarks/bookmarks-menu.png
I put a copy of the image where is expects it to be at that link and it
works.

But i should think that's a wiki bug.
