Yes, today I did.

I get errors though. I tried in erect2qtvr:

# generate JPEG cubefaces
for my $index (0 .. 5)
{

 if ($^O eq "darwin")
 {
    system ('sips', " -s format jpeg -s formatOptions $quality
$prefix-face000$index.tif --out $prefix-face000$index.jpg");
#    system ('sips', "-s format jpeg -s formatOptions", $quality,
"$prefix-face000$index.tif", "--out", "$prefix-face000$index.jpg");
 }
 else
 {
    system ('convert', '-quality', $quality, "$prefix-face000$index.tif",
"$prefix-face000$index.jpg");
 }
}

 As you can see I tried two options for sips, also with single quotes
compared to double quotes. Nothing helps.
If I use the first option I get:
Warning:  -s format jpeg -s formatOptions 70
/var/folders/+R/+RmeG2o8EleS+UbdOPEbWE+++TI/-Tmp-/Z9eWno4ZDk/cube-face0004.tif
--out
/var/folders/+R/+RmeG2o8EleS+UbdOPEbWE+++TI/-Tmp-/Z9eWno4ZDk/cube-face0004.jpg
not a valid file - skipping
Error 4: no file was specified


If I use the seond option (more like yours)  I get:
Error 1: unknown function "-s format jpeg -s formatOptions"
Try 'sips --help' for help using this tool

So that's why I choose the first one. I'm affraid the temp folder causes
problems. The <.../-Tmp-/...> directory is always used.  The "-T" in "-Tmp-"
is interpreted as a sips option.

I know that due to security issues and so on the temp dir is really variable
and disappearing asap, but can I set the tempdir manually to, at least,
check the proper functioning?

If I run the command by hand it works
