Functions/GenXdev.AI.Queries/Set-ImageDirectories.ps1

################################################################################
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Sets the directories and default language for image files used in GenXdev.AI
operations.
 
.DESCRIPTION
This function configures the global image directories and default language
used by the GenXdev.AI module for various image processing and AI operations.
It updates both the global variables and the module's preference storage to
persist the configuration across sessions.
 
.PARAMETER ImageDirectories
An array of directory paths where image files are located. These directories
will be used by GenXdev.AI functions for image discovery and processing
operations.
 
.PARAMETER Language
The default language to use for image metadata operations. This will be used
by Remove-ImageMetaData, Update-AllImageMetaData, and Find-Image functions
when no language is explicitly specified.
 
.EXAMPLE
Set-ImageDirectories -ImageDirectories @("C:\Images", "D:\Photos") -Language "Spanish"
 
.EXAMPLE
Set-ImageDirectories @("C:\Pictures", "E:\Graphics\Stock") "French"
 
.EXAMPLE
Set-ImageDirectories @("C:\Pictures")
