I just installed the Inkscape flatpak provided on the official download page on my OpenSUSE 42.2 and it seems it didn't install the Potrace library because I don't have the "Trace Bitmap" option under Path and the context menu item doesn't do anything.
So I installed Potrace from YaST and it didn't work any better.
So I decided to install Inkscape from YaST as well (which is still at 0.91) and use the Trace Bitmap from there

But what should I do to make it work on the flatpak ?

Oh gosh, I have no idea.  I don't even understand what flatpack is.  Or YaST either!

However, I'll investigate and try to get an answer for you.

Oh, look what I found on the download page

For issues that are related to the Flatpak packaging, you can contact the author via the repository at github.

So you can make a new Issue report there.  Do you know how to do that, or do you need more detailed instructions?

Will you let us know what you find out?  If it's a common problem, we might be able to help other users.

Thanks ! Didn't see that.
YaST is OpenSUSE's settings tool. It includes many  utilities like the package manager, the partitioner, network settings, hardware settings and many other things.
