Use Nemo with All-in-one-Places Cinnamon applet

It's really a pity, that the All-in-one-places applet hasn't got an update for including support for Nemo, as this is IMHO the best one of its kind.
But there's a workaround.
Its enough to add Nemo to the available filemanagers in settings.py
I provide you here a patchfile that you can apply, so you don't have to edit the file by yourself.
Just execute the following steps in a command line terminal.

First you'll have to create the patchfile with this:
cat <<EOF  >/tmp/All-in-one-Place.patch
--- a/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/all-in-one-places@jofer/settings.py
+++ b/.local/share/cinnamon/applets/all-in-one-places@jofer/settings.py

 ]

Apply the patch with this:
cd ~ ; patch -p1 < /tmp/All-in-one-Place.patch
No log out of the cinnamon session is necessary.
Just open now the settings of All-in-one-place and select Nemo from the filemanager combo.
