keyable particles emision rate

Would be nice to have an emission rate instead of number of particles+start+end. It would make my life a lot simpler, yours too :P

I think I should be an option, for retro compatibility at least. well ... acheck box [x] use emission rate and a slider with a float for particles per second. But I think it's really hard/long to implement because the whole particle engine uses to know the final particles count

If you could put together a mock-up of what this would look like in Blender, I think that would go a long way towards helping show things.

If this supercedes the number/start/end settings, wouldn't those be hidden when emission rate is enabled?

or disabled (grayed)

To that end, you should include that in your mock-up (and include the mock-up in your original proposal ;).

Would this be an optional replacement for the current way of doing it, or are you suggesting a permanent change?

And in either case, what would it look like in the Blender interface? A mock-up of some sort would be very helpful.
