Hi Jan, Awesome! I'd recommend splitting gnome-exe-thumbnailer into its own repository, since it makes fetching the repository source a lot easier. Create a new repo in GitHub, copy everything in the gnome-exe-thumnailer folder over, and commit. Afterwards, it might be a good idea to tag the 0.9.4 version ('git tag 0.9.4' or something similar, and then 'git push --tags').
