Is there a way to disable texture filtering on thumbnails in Nautilus? It would make it easier to see pixel art.
Try using feh, from terminal navigate to the directory where you store your pixel arts, then execute: feh -i --force-aliasing -b trans Option -i is for index mode, --force-aliasing disable the AA during zoom-in/out, -b trans uses checker box patterns for transparent, otherwise black BG by default. Also, use the up and down arrow keys for zoom.
