.DESCRIPTION This function creates environment variables that persist after powershell closes. The created variables will be used across multiple FFTools Functions. Variables created are a source folder for media processed, and an output folder for processed media. .PARAMETER environment Specify whether you whish the environment variables to be stored for yourself 'user' or system wide 'machine'. .PARAMETER FFToolsSource Source path of media to be processed .PARAMETER FFToolsTarget Target path for processed Media .Example Set-FFToolsVariables -Source "c:\media\"" -Target "c:\media\out\" Creates persistent environment variables. Be sure to include a closing backslash for the parameters. .Link https://github.com/TheTaylorLee/AdminToolbox #> function Set-FFToolsVariables { [Cmdletbinding()] Param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [ValidateSet('machine', 'user')] [String]$environment, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true)] [ValidateScript( { if ( -not (Test-Path $_)) { throw "Path '$_' doesn't exist.
