I am a LaTeX user for several years now but I never took it much further than user level. Sometimes I wish I'd be a better coder but I am able to solve most of my problems with existing packages.
Currently I am in the last year of my PhD in Chemical Engineering in Manchester, England which means that I won't be able to dedicate much time to tex.stackexchange in the next couple of month. However, I am going through phases of substantial procrastination and if I see a question I can answer, I'll try to give a good answer.
Once finished with my PhD, I'd like to return to my home sweet home in Germany.

Quality loss at adding images to a LaTeX file If you make a png with the exact size as you need it, the quality will be perfectly fine. Just when you start scaling the issues begin |

TikZ externalization with floatrow package I guess you need to dig in the bowels of the package and add \tikzexternaldisable and \tikzexternalenable around the 2nd parsing of the file argument. Maybe possible with the \patchcmd command from etoolbox? |

Figure caption runs off page it needs to go before \begin{document} to affect your whole document. Did you check your page size with the geometry package, did you check for warnings in the log-file? |

Text width in 1st and 2nd glossary is different? Welcome. We usually do not sign or posts and also words like 'Hi' are stripped to keep the question clear and clean. Most likely the two glossaries use different styles. Check the manual and maybe explicitly define the same style for both glossaries. |

Change the path where (the internal viewer of) TexStudio looks for the generated PDF file? True but the link is what, 1kb or something? Does that matter nowadays? |

Change the path where (the internal viewer of) TexStudio looks for the generated PDF file? I don't use TexStudio, but I could imagine that a symbolic link to the pdf file in the project folder could work. This would not be an automatic thing and you need to create it manually for each project. Worth a try I guess |

Text in multirow overlaps the next row muiltirow does not know how long the contained text is. You simply need to give it another row -> 3. |

Require two figures on consecutive pages to be horizontally aligned If the figures are near page size and there is no other text on those pages anyway, do not use a figure environment. just use \includegraphics{} maybe inside a center environment if you have to. Then you can control the placement precisely with e.g. \vspace*{length-value}. If you need a captio use the \captionof{figure}{pic description} command from the capt-of or caption package |

Compiling a code in TeXnicCenter produces an empty PDF without any warning and error Have you checked the log file outside of Texniccenter? I remember that I had something similar before, but in my case the pdf was created despite the editor showing 0 pages produced. This however was with an old version of Texniccenter. |

Model Railway planning As always, anything is possible. To be honest, I would do this in a vector drawing software like Inkscape and create 'brushes' for buildings and trees and other standard items. Then you can draw the tracks as pathes and 'stamp in' the rest. I think it takes a very long time to create a, say, tikz object database to be productive. But it is possible if you re willing to write 5000 lines code :) |
