Nearest-neighbor scaling when zooming in

[jelbo]

Currently, with the image scaling option set to either Off, Software or Hardware, when you zoom into an image, some sort of interpolated scaling is used.

I always prefer to see clean, enlarged pixels when zooming into pictures, especially with pixel-art. But even with photos I prefer it, just to have a good look at the raw data, instead of a blurred representation.

Would it be possible to implement this option? It should only kick in when zooming in, because zooming out actually benefits from scaling algorithms that smoothens the image.

A good article on nearest-neighbor scaling: http://tech-algorithm.com/articles/nearest-neighbor-image-scaling/

Example image (200% zoomed):
