Okay so the wiki page should be all good now.
https://gambaswiki.org/edit/comp/gb.form/filechooser/bookmarks

I have added info about using Bookmarks.class and warning about the
Collection may now work.
Added an example to match the existing example but using Bookmarks.class.
Plus a notice about both the Collection and the Bookmarks.class must be
different or you'll get duplicate items.
Plus fixed that image link.
Plus added my gtk-3 bookmark reading method as another example.

I think my work here is done...  :)

Respects all
